Basically, we must have working mufflers! Some disagreement surrounds the use of switchable systems. However, you must still have mufflers. I think we can have systems that switch from mufflers to through drive into the water exhaust. But "never" wide open.

I already get far too much attention. So I'm trying to figure out how to comply to this law without damaging my 600sci. That way when pulled over, I'm legal. Then after the usual "what kind of a boat is this" "who builds it" questions along with the standard safety equipment check, I can be on my way ASAP.

Don't try that on the USA side!! They'll call a helicopter or worse! I always slow down when going by the Coasties to make sure they don't want to stop me. Most of them know my boat now anyway though.

rumor has it Alex Bay New York started to enforce the noise rule and lost 4 of 7 local officers trying to do so... now big power is running wide open rip the ears out of an elephant and LIKE IT and no more complaining about noise

funny how society werx when the law gets 'scared' of $$$$ and Power

Spenc, where are the pics of the new boat? Ya should have been floating around on the weekend down there.

trying to be patient, there's alot we need to do to refurbish the old fossil

all in good time ( and you know how short my patience is L! )

cheers

hope you got your oil issue ironed out!
