Nothing wrong with blowboats.... I've been a blowboater in the past... There is a certain amount of fun knowing you aren't spending money as you "crawl" somewhere....

exactly the same as I know that eventually I will die...that is why you never see a brinks truck behind a hearse, it aint going with ya...

I had a Fountain with twin 350's w/ no through hole exhaust. I never missed the sound and the neighbors loved the boat! The kids liked getting on the boat much better.

i would rather beer bong my own diarehia than have a quiet boat...........The only thing that is bad about your own boat being loud is not having enough trust in your buddy to rip buy ya when your standing on shore...............

I wish I could afford to make them louder.

As far as noise affecting other boaters or lakeside residents- you don't need a quieter boat, you need bigger water.

TRUST NO ONE LOOSE NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a certain feeling you get when you fire up your BBs or somebody near you does. I boat in big water so being considerate to my neighbors does not come into play except around the dock then I use my Captains Call option. If they regulate the sport so these engines are quiet, I'm outta here and into a cruiser. Unlike others, I'd miss the sound and the anticipation I experience when I fire them up. Kids...they get ear plugs.

Spelling Police!!.... I think you mean "lose" nothing....

I don't know if you have checked the sale prices of blowboats lately... but they are just as expensive as powerboats. I like to see you power across the pacific to Hawaii sometime. It's all a matter of choice for the moment.

Wouldn't bother me at all as long as boat still went the same speed-are we trying to make noise or go fast? I drove a new 4 stroke snomobile last year,it was strange-the noise of the track clattering and parts turning was louder than the motor,kinda eerie BUT if I bought one I wouldn't go out of my way to make it louder unless their was a performance gain,Smitty
