The only thing that we could think of was that he knew that Sea Ray had shipped boats to the Winni with this switch and he stopped us not because of the noise, but for the switch. So I guess there is a chance that they are still looking for certain boat brands to stop for the noise level.

I'd guess nearly any late model bowider with through-hull exhaust also has a switchable exhaust. The other boat probably did not have switchable exhaust (dumb law eh?) He went for the boat owner that was obvioiusly flaunting the law and probably gave a warning because you didn't know the law.
