ok boys I am gettin ready to pick up a new toy for the summer one big concern though it has a dry exhaust system. so my question to you guys is. has anybody had any big problems with water patrol and noise disturbance. if so do you mind sharing. I'm really just trying to find out if the juice is worth the squeeze.

Full dry is VERY loud. Expect to get stopped by the WP. You will be louder most other boats and will attract attention to yourself.

I have been stopped for loud exhaust with a single a 525SC and wet exhaust and was over the db limit.

what did the fine look like if you don't mind me asking

He gave me a warning. I was 3 db over while running past him. I was only running about 3800rpms though. I had just gotten the boat and told him I planned on getting mufflers. I did get some Drew Marine shotguns and never got stopped for it again. I'm sure it helped that I have a badge too
I think the fine is a coupled hundred though.

I agree, Dry Exhaust is going to be very LOUD. I was stopped on evening in mid sept because my boat looked like one that had been causing a rukis in the area. I explained to him it could not have been me, the officer told me to go get my db checked soon. He was nice about it but, but i think your going to "stand out" with Dry Exhaust at LOTO.

What kind of toy will you be bring tothe lake?

later

IMHO with dry exhaust it's just a matter of time before you will be stopped.

You will be stopped the first time out and kicked off the lake. It takes about two or three times untill they know your boat and you won't be on the water with out being legal. It was my nightmare and I was only 94.7 db.

93 TG 575SC's I don't think I can pass it up though. Looks like I got to find some muff's or down pipes. as far as WP goes. I guess I got to keep my eyes open, come down off plain and shut one down. I can Idle for miles.

Put a pair of tips on it you'll be fine. I was dealing with a pair of 1100's on a cat. They do not like rooster tails at all.
