We got pulled over Sunday on the 7mm WP thought the Top Gun was too loud and ask if we had checked. I told him my buddy just bought it. WP didn't have his meeter with him to check it so he asked us when we got back to our place to call him and he would come over and check it.

Damn that sucks. We met you as we were leaving the no wake on Friday and then I saw you again on Saturday in party cove. Ive never been messes with, but they did say something to my buddy with the 28. He has HP500's with Whipples and no mufflers. I have a set of the Shotgun mufflers that automatically close via spring and so far they havent given my boat a second look when we go by, Then again i just have 496's for power.

I laughed this weekend - we are crusing down the main channel in the new F boat, no name on it, no registration, and the WP pulls up running side by side about 40 feet away looking us over. I figure he is going to light me up, and just then a cat goes by us - 1 minute later he is lighting the cat up.
Life is good.

The test they gave was not legal and I brought it to her attention its hard to hold it in court when there is 300 boats going by tring to get a static test was impossible.There was a pontoon that fired up that was 101 when she was trying to test us we just laughed. Trust me our boat is not that loud compared to others. I think what brought her attention to us was we were running pretty hard (in a safe place) and the props were leaving the water which makes some good noise.

Make sure ya sign up over on http://www.midwestboatparty.com its where most of us LOTO folks hang out, and usually always easy to find out where the party is for the weekend. We also have a poker run this weekend. You should signup and come have some fun.

Its 86db at 50 feet or more away and 89db at idle at 3 feet behind the transom.
I've been stopped running and was at 89db.
Correction, its 90db at idle.

Thanks..
I saw your boat when I was leaving Dog Days (I love the AT's) friday night but didn't see you. Maybe next time I will bump into you.
Mine should be quiet enough you don't get much more stock than my old tub. I just wanted to know the facts if I ever get pulled over.
