I love it when loud boats come blasting through the Mattawoman. It makes my day, but it soesn't happen often.

Welcome to the land of the free.... Where the minority of complainers are the ones setting the rules.

Well, luckily for me the noise regulations are for elk, bohemia, northeast rivers and the canal. Right where I do 99% of my boating!!! Awesome.

My question is why my boat can't be more than 88 decibels but my neighbors lawn mower can be 100 decibels???? Anyone understand that?

You know, You just may have something there. Just think of all the kayakers and other small boats that our load boats have saved from being run over.
