I still don't see an answer to the original question. We were in Building 5 at Lands End during Aquapalooza weekend. I was putting stuff away in the kitchen Friday afternoon when we heard a loud roar go by. My wife said, "What was that?" "White Lightning", I replied, without even going to the balcony to take a look.

He made three passes by Dog Days within 5 minutes. The third time by I went to the balcony to see Water Patrol sitting near him. WP did not pull up along side. Apparently words were exchanged but no citations issued.

I hear stories of other people getting warnings, tickets, and being told to trailer their boat until the noise level is reduced. So, how does he get away with it?

CMI headers and tails. Wet exhaust, no mufflers.

Omerta,
Do you have the 700 Cig? I've seen it at Dog Days in the past.
Awesome boat!
