I also told him that I had just gotten the boat and was planning on putting on mufflers.
The kicker is that Troutly was about 100 yards away taking pics of me pulled over.

Re: LOTO- Sound Violations Worse than ever
What I have seen in the past, they will let you go from the ramp straight to the course and straight back, no touring the lake! It really Sucks considering this is a big finical shot in the arm for lake busineses, you would think that for one weekend for a good cause they could loosen up,you Loto guys need to be leaning on your elected officials!!

You don't have to be loud to run good. I know my 46 Skater is legal but it took having a custom set of exhaust made that uses a lot of water running through mufflers and then into turndowns. We run close to 1500hp through these things at the lake and never have a problem - with the engines or the waterpatrol.

Dave, did you have any mufflers in the tailpipes between the the headers and the transom. I know Skater likes to put them in there also.
Just trying to figure out what to do on the new boat to make sure I'm legal. Also What brand of mufflers and turn down is that in your pics
Thanks
