So far the police presence has been far less than last year, but the number of people out has been far less due to the crappy weather. As stated already, don't give them a reason and you'll probably be fine.

Me too, at times. We'll consider you a decoy!
I am kind of lucky. We have captain's call on our new boat but it doesn't seem near as loud on our twins as it did on our Baja with a single. Less chance of legal entanglements, I hope.
Cheers!

They= local business owners and residents concerned with over zealous law enforcement. There is a hotline now u can call if u feel youre being harrassed. This is all info from people that live there... I have twin HO's no mufflers and dont use silent choice, havent been stopped once... Ever... And thats where i do 90% of my boating. PROWRENCH will tell u same thing. Also there are much louder boats than ours not having any issues. Be slow and idle around the sandbar, everything else is fair game. We have a blast up there

They ( the Police) have not bothered me on torch, But I did ask them when I was at the dock on the river what they look for, and their response was straight to the point anyone boating like a Moron and endangering the welfare of other boaters. Pretty easy to understand. Have fun on a beautiful lake. just be smart and use your head!
