Default How does White Lightning do it?

I have had a couple of warnings for sound despite running mufflers. I have 540 blower motors that are borderline even when muffled. I love the way White Lightning sounds but I bet it's above the limit. What's his secret to not getting busted?

Not sure, but I think he's definitely quieter this year than last year.

just saw this thread, but it prob. the fact that he only goes out at certain times and picks and chooses when he runs the boat. So when people are b^tch^n because he doesnt run the boat its because he cant without WP bein all over his tail

He is out all the time around WP. When going through no wake zone he turns off one motor. It must help a litttle. Hell he has been running without hatches too.

I dont think bribery has anything to do with it. I know for a fact that he has had his fair share of db tickets!!! So the only money changing hands is his to the city of osage beach. But like I said, I bet you dont see him out before noon and before the other big boys get on the water.There is nothing else for them to do at 9 or 10 oclock on a sat, or sunday morning.....

My father had a 47' Apache with (3) 598ci 1100's at LOTO and we never received one DB ticket. The neighbors would complain at times and call the WP and they would come by to let us know, but he never received a ticket for loud noise... It has to do with luck and how you operate your boat...
