So far the police presence has been far less than last year, but the number of people out has been far less due to the crappy weather. As stated already, don't give them a reason and you'll probably be fine.

Just follow prowrench around and u'll be fine, he should get pulled over first before any of us law abiding citizens! :D

Me too, at times. We'll consider you a decoy!

I am kind of lucky. We have captain's call on our new boat but it doesn't seem near as loud on our twins as it did on our Baja with a single. Less chance of legal entanglements, I hope.

Cheers!

Who is "they". Why did they have a meeting?

AJ POWERPLAY 06-18-2013 09:49 PM

They= local business owners and residents concerned with over zealous law enforcement. There is a hotline now u can call if u feel youre being harrassed. This is all info from people that live there... I have twin HO's no mufflers and dont use silent choice, havent been stopped once... Ever... And thats where i do 90% of my boating. PROWRENCH will tell u same thing. Also there are much louder boats than ours not having any issues. Be slow and idle around the sandbar, everything else is fair game. We have a blast up there

They ( the Police) have not bothered me on torch, But I did ask them when I was at the dock on the river what they look for, and their response was straight to the point anyone boating like a Moron and endangering the welfare of other boaters. Pretty easy to understand. Have fun on a beautiful lake. just be smart and use your head!

Rossman40 06-19-2013 12:38 PM

Great, thanks for the heads up, we will be there on the 4th. We have 3 boats but are coming via elk lake all 6 of us on my buddy's silver cig. Come find us!

AJ POWERPLAY 06-19-2013 02:49 PM

Shouldnt be hard to find a silver cig lol... I'll be up there on my boat, see ya then

Rossman40 06-19-2013 09:46 PM

Well, this one is a one of a kind. My buddy has redone a 1979 36, its BEAUTIFUL.
