I thought so. If I remember right you(or someone in your group)had an alternator crap out. I have just avoided Torch on holiday weekends and haven't had any issues but haven't been there this year. Holidays are just too much now. I love to have a good time but I'm too old(yes I said it) to hang out on a sandbar where 19 year olds are puking in the water at 1pm. LOL

Knock on wood, I haven't been messed with yet, but I'm sure it will happen. I am all stock with factory muffler tips, so I don't know what to do if I get ticketed. If you read the rules it states that silent choice must be used at all times on inland lakes in MI. I'm out there every single weekend so lots of chances already for them the last 2 months.
There's a new guy in charge of water patrol and he's trying to be a big tough guy. They've also deputized the pres. of the lake association and the pres. of the lake preservation society. Earlier this year the patrol actually seemed a little less than usual, but the 4th week was an incredible presence. We'll see how it goes from here.
Swimmers itch is alive and well since the water got warm, kind of annoying but goes away in a couple days.
Bottom line is some people simply cannot stand it when others are having fun.
