Hey i heard that the captin of the whitelightning boat was arrested at backwater jacks this weekend while trying to treat 5 hot ladies to diner. Seems that this whole db law is getting way out of hand. with all the the things that happen at loto you would think that the waterpatrol could find something better to do than hate on a man that is just doin a little " CAT HUNTIN" Numerous people have wrecks and even die on that lake every year, you would think that our tax dollars could do a little better job with their time. Seriously you cant hardly keep a wave runner under the db level. All the revenue that place collects from all the hard core boater should be a little more productive than trying to run people off !

Good to hear he didn't have any problems with the WP. I also heard he has some more HP, but haven't heard any specifics.
For the record, you can quiet down 2000+ HP. A friend had 1200+ a side and he was quieter than my 502mpi's at idle. Also Dave Scott even has turn downs on one of the Bud Select boats to keep it quiet.

There's a guy in Michigan that has developed mufflers for diesel trucks that MAKE more horsepower! He is now working on a marine version and plans to offer it to Brunswick Corp. when it is ready. Stay tuned!

Come with me to the REAL WORLD gentlemen. Where Joe Successful has worked his ass off for thirty years, made his fortune and is trying to impress his other old-ass upper class friends at his multimillion dollar home on the coolest lake in the midwest. Think he might be a little pissed when he can't hold a conversation because of some jerk reving his open exhaust in the cove?
Besides money, what else does Joe have? Connections. The kind of connections that get laws passed. Like I said, it's the real world.......

Personal liberty give me a break, are you saying that it is your personal liberty to do what ever the heck you want just cause it makes you happy. What about the personal liberty of all the people living and boating on the lake, I bet there are 1,000 people that hate the noise to every one person that does not mind the noise. All it takes is one really loud boat to pizz off a a lot of people.
Buying a house on that lake and b*tching about noise would be like buying a house next to the railroad tracks and complaining everytime the California Zephyr rolls through at 2 am.

Thanks Ed for clearing that up for me, never the less I think the db laws are kinda crazy. Not that i dont ever believe in them but i have been on the boat on a saturday afternoon at idle going under grand glaze bridge and Mr. Reed was pulled over for a db test. Dont think uping to db rating a little would hurt anyone or even giving a time where you need to keep it quiet. If you are keeping people from sleeping, all for it. If they are just old and bit@hy, let them wine. Hope this all gets cleared up and everyone can have a good summer and stay out of trouble.

Travis is in the clear - I vote we leave this thread up. A lot of good viewpoints shared here.
