I don't think so, but it's better to put mufflers on and avoid the hassles. California is pretty tough, especially in the marinas where some people live on their boats.

I have 2 sets of USED Gibson mufflers for sale. $650.00 for the 2 sets.One has a small ding, but on the transom,you don't really see it, especially with a swimstep!!

There's no "point" on your record. Driving your boat has nothing to do with the DMV who issues your license. It's usually a straight fine though, not a fix-it-ticket. Fines can be high and if you don't pay them they go to civil assesment (attached wages, civil suite, etc.).

GGB is alive and well. He has moved and is producing many products but is no longer selling direct.

We are the only distributor in the US and have them in stock. There warranty is still good regardless of rumors to the contrary.

It's by far the most popular muffler in Northern Ca. Supply is running thin as summer is approaching.

Forgive me if I'm wrong here, but aren't GGB's made in Canada? I like the "buy American" slogan :D

Yes, Canada is part of the Americas, as in North America, Central America, South America. And the GGB mufflers are great.

I also agree Mufflers are a must anymore on inland lakes and rivers. Worth staying away from the" noise " police. Is anyone running CMI's " Sound Elimination System" Mufflers? Suppose to quiet it down to 86db ? How do they compare to GGB's?
