Any loud horns available???
 

I have my 47 fountain that is a big and tough looking boat but after I "toot" the horn I feel like a little girl! Additionally it seems no one really hears the stupid little thing anyhow. I do alot of river traveling and I use the horn quite a bit with the PWC's and others.

Is there anything out there besides mounting air horns on the deck to make this sound a little more like a train coming down the tracks?

Find out what Formula uses in the newer Fastech. I was on a friends a couple weeks ago and the horn was awesome! It sounded like the loud air can type for sporting events or blow boat use.

I got a set of Buell air horns--triple's that I'm not gonna use. http://www.buellairhorns.com/

They are awesome -- $500

Need 150 PSI

My formula has an air horn under the gunnel by the vents in the back. It could use a second horn with a deeper tone along with it, but it blows away the crappy little flush mounted ones.

Train horn with a electric compressor and a tank. That will get attention and they are pretty easy to take out of the triple configuration they are in and make a custom mount. I have a set tucked under the hood of my suburban. If I can fit a set under there, you can fit a set on that big damn beak boat.

I believe that the Pentagon is parting out the USS Missouri to cover budget shortfalls. You could give them a call.

I imagine something that big doesnt' *need* a horn! :eek:

it has horns, 9 of them to be exact, they are 16" in diameter and have a 22 mile range. :D

I have a friend who was on the re-comissioning crew of the Misssouri. He told me all kinds of neat stuff. The most interesting boating related fact about the MO is it took 11 miles to stop from full speed. That was with FULL REVERSE!

Ummmmm......I don't believe that one. Can you verify?


Regarding the horn....here's a company.

Thanks for all the idea's Maybe something between the Missouri and a train horn may do. I will have to check out the formula and some air horns.

Ray, how does the horn in the Fountain compare to your PQ? I know that mine is one of the loudest (internally mounted) that I have heard. It definitely gets attention.

I had Kahlenbergs on my 42 Carver. Yup, way loud. But I think they are in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.

Can't imagine what a go-fast would look like with a a pair of 8" diameter, 3 foot long stainless horns would look like.
Photoshop, anyone?

We offer train horns at my store. We stock the Buell 4 trumpet system and also offer a two trumpet system. Both have air tanks and separate compressor to keep tank full.

Call me at 813-882-8477 when you are ready for a really loud horn.
