I read in another thread that it is because the MP's don't want you to be able to quiet your boat when you see them then turn it back on.

I am going to get flammed for this but if they would allow silent choice then they could say "no above hull exhaust" at all and it would make it much quiter..

Now I know the arguement against that. What about the hundreds if not thousands of boats that have above the hull exhaust and can't afford or want to silent choice?

In that situation keep the statutes the same. But for some people (including myself) I would have no problem switching on silent choice to quiet the lake down. That way I wouldn't have to worry about manuelly installing mufflers each time.

But why should anything make sense right?
