Hang it up like a trophy. F 'em.

A new Suzuki GSXR 1000 with a full Yosh. sys. on a Dyno at about 5 feet away during an all gear run 2-6 gears at red line only gets to 112db. with the meter set on A level. There is now way he had the meter set on A.

My boat is loud, loud enough that people clap and cheer when I am done docking and turn it off, and I have never got a reading higher than 105db in the cockpit.

120 db is like standing in front of the big speakers at a CREW concert, ( it's are's go to 11) loud. no way it's 120 db.

So bad here in my area that I haven't been on the local lake in 3 years . Trailering a couple of hours every weekend takes alot of the fun out of owning a performance boat. This fall I'm sending mine back to Nor-Tech for the underwater exhaust conversion. Whats next????? Paint not appealing to the blue hairs!!!!

I've been boating in Florida for 35 years, just this spring I saw the only sign I've ever seen concerning noise levels.

He said next time he's impounding the boat


I would not play around and get a Lawyer ASAP

I'd want to know how he got the reading of 120 db. "IF" thats correct, thats eardrum breaking noise. The 90db standard is usually at rest, 1 meter off the transom, and 1 meter off the water. and they need to do all sorts of background readings first. Without some serious mufflers, its unlikely you could come anywhere near to passing that test. most stock twin engine boats without mufflers can't pass it. My single engine boat with mufflers is at 89 db.

gino, how are you feeling? hope your health is improving = jeff

now they will be doing the running tests, even on the underwater muffler systems running they will not pass and they will cite you for that, ask 3600cat and white lightning at loto, once they get a hard on for you your going to have to constanyly deal with it, I used my boat twice this year until I finally got the turndowns, now I'm nervous to get on plane, I'm always watching out for them, stay in the middle of the channel for sure and just get out of it if you see a water patrol, pull a kill switch lanyard and say you have a motor down,

120 DB?? OK, I'm what, 150/200 yards from Goldmans, and I have NEVER heard anything that freakin loud running over there... Anyone pull a drug test on the LEO??

Sorry to hear about this LJ. You need to fight it, or ole one bullet will be on ya everytime you run the boat.

I ordered mufflers from CMI, they were supposed to be done 2 weeks ago and I still don't have them. I should send the ticket to them!
