Fat Jack....

It is absolutely no secret I am a Hi-Performance boater. I also belong to NHRBA, and Winnilakers and a host of other boating sites. I have made no no attempt to disguise who I am, or that I own a 26' Donzi and that it runs approximately 65MPH at top speed. I have also made my opinion known in many threads about exhaust noise. I think Rep. Whalleys bill is a great first step. I also think it should be amended to allow switchable exhaust systems such as those sold by Fay's Marina on some of thier Chapparal boats.

I think you need to do some research on SAE J2005. I think you would be pretty surprised at how the testing procedure is to be done, vs your perception of how the testing is to be done. Rep. Whalley's bill references SAE J2005 ALOT. See the link Skip provided above. It is also the standard in use by a large number of other states. It was developed specifically by SAE so Law Enforcement Agencies can easily measure sound as emitted by the exhaust of pleasure boats.

If you go to the SAE website, you can download it.

I am sorry you cannot comprehend HB-1624 as it is written. Skip (an obvious Law Enforcement Officer) offered to educate you privately and you declined. it's probably alot easier for you to think its some sort of conspiracy to make the world louder.
