Gino,

If you were in the Bahamas you wouldn't have gotten a ticket!

You were on the list for the Poker Run, what happened?
2 MTI's made it over and one broke a belt at Bahia Mar so he went but his boat didn't. Water was rough, rain sucked but we had a nice ride back this morning on flat water 20 miles outside of West End all the way back to the inlet.

I have that chart, tried to upload it..

Re: $250 Ticket for loud exhaust
 

I agree, fight it. If you are running straight, dry exhaust you may actually hit 120DB but no way at 35mph at 50 feet.
SAE J34 is actually 25 meters not 50 feet. Somewhere they must reference the measuring standard criteria? I'll start looking also. Michigan is cracking down also (and proposing new criteria). I always try to watch this. I did not know "Captains Call" or "Cutouts" were illegal in Florida. I am VERY GLAD to see you are using the boat. Stay healthy!!

I was leaving with the 2 other MTIs. We went out Port Everglades and went north. It was pretty bumpy. I decided to to pull in to Hillsboro and just fly over. I was on the fence wheather to drive the boat or not. I figured with my luck and recent medical episode, We though best not to try to drive over. We flew back last night.

120db at 50ft (16m) would translate to 144 at 1 meter in a perfect world.
If that was taken at 25 meters, then that should translate to 148db at 1 meter.

Now that IS loud!!!!

120 at the front row of a Crew concert???? Try tacking an additional 10 or 15 on top of that!!! My personal best was an average of 125db around 80 ft away. Thankfully those levels were for 60hz and below so I wasn't splitting ear drums.........I was splitting colons and merging organs!!! For example, I was merging peoples' livers and spleens and creating Splivers in the process!!!! :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

This sheriff guy's name might be Musthafaroduphispoopr :eek:

Re: $250 Ticket for loud exhaust
 

Maybe a stupid reply...but...w/ a boat like that, wouldn't it be a rather easy sell to claim you are testing new props in anticipation of a race?

Re: $250 Ticket for loud exhaust
 

man, i don't understand how captain's call or cutouts could be illegal, quiet when needed and full out loud in open water. hell, my denali hits 155db on the dash and i've never recieved a ticket for "loud system" or "noise pollution"
