Boat sound law??
Gibson exhaust has an ad. in Hotboat mag. telling me to not get busted for the sound law in effect January 2005. Anyone in St. Pete every get a ticket or pulled over for having loud exhaust. My boats pretty loud and Id like to try to avoid a ticket.

I think its just a California/Arizona Lake Havasu BS Law their enforcing starting this 05 season. It's got everybody out here in an uproar. Truthfully its just another reason to pull us over on the water and test for alcohol BAC. I would check with the local Law Enforcment in your area before anything.
Good Luck, hopefully you guys aren't getting Fu&ked out there too!

Re: Boat sound law??
Boatings not the only sport under attack for noise,in michigan and wisconson there has been a crackdown on loud snowmobiles,orvs and there are circle tracks requiring race cars to also be muffled,every year it gets worse and people have tried to fight it but i have yet to hear of any noise law getting changed back,yes,it sucks but is the way of the future. Blowboaters,lakefront property snobs etc don't have the same appreciation for dry headers on a offshore boat that some people have. The sad part is the guys who put extra loud silencers on their snowmobiles,mega phone exhaust on their quad runners and dry exhaust on their boat for no special reason other than because they love loud stuff get ALL of us unwanted negative attention then the do-gooders want laws against it but they set the limits where it affects EVERYONE,not just the worst offenders!

Re: Boat sound law??
There was a whole article about the new laws in California and Arizona. They also talked about the proper testing techniques. Another section of the magazine had all the noise DB laws listed for each state, if mufflers were required and if you could run switchable exhausts.
