I think there should be a recall on the 3600's .All FREE ofcourse. :D Start with mine.

Great job NORTECH, very innovative, thats what I like to see. It's nice sometimes to hold a conversation at 60mph, count me in, I'll order one with my purchase. :cool: :drink:

Great job by Nortech!
But I've never gotten any applause for shutting down my engines, so I think they need to be louder!

I think that and other ideas are important. I really think the days of open exhaust except off shore are numbered and it can't hurt that a boat running fast doesn't draw attention because of noise.

I know I can live without open (loud) exhaust so I am glad to see someone adressing the issue in an innovative way.

Good Job.

the rudder boats have the exhaust come out under the bustle, but not under the prop... it is under water at idle, but not in front of the props... (some race boats just exit the sides of the hull... nichols and ex-pier 57)

I also believe there should be certain restrictions on noise, but in open water... who cares! I am a fan of loud raw sounding boats, and in a way i think its a part of power boating history.... (I'm don't want to get the thread off on a rampage) but i want mine as loud as possible until the law just wolnt allow it ! I am impressed with nor-Tech's innovation, and would really like to hear it... I know it is the future!

This is great for offshore boating as a hole. First of all it shows that against comming thoughts about us we do care about other people on the water. It shows that we are not just a huge group of ego maniacs. This is HUGE for public perception about us. The more that we can get the word out about systems like this the better we all look. Lets face it peoples complaints about our boats is not the speed (although they use that as a way around things), it is the noise. We may like the noise but most people do not. Do we really want to piss off everyone on the water tell they enact regulations like they apear to be doing in NH, have in Lake George, and are talking about in many many lakes all over the US? I am willing to bet that if every one of our boats had a system like this on them that most of these laws would never have come into play.
