Used to be lots of Mental Anguish. I forget the $$$$.

I remember the $500 for having Silent Choice though. That was years ago. Unbelievably stupid freakin law, and I got caught after passing the Db test. Yes, a law, but no foundation behind it.

Haven't been pulled over for noise in say 6-7 years, so I would say they are relaxed, but, remember, I had wet exhaust with mufflers when I'd be pulled over.

In the past few years I Have seen a few hotboats start up near Marine Patrol with pretty loud wet exhausts and not be pulled over.

However, Noise is what brought upon our speed limits (loud = perceived fast moving) so...be careful and please don't ruin it for those of us who are here or frequently visit.

How'd the Tiger go? And did you have any issues with the Patrol?

Can't speak to the Loud Exhaust thing as I have Corsa Quick and Quiet and not that loud so never bothered.

Speed Limit...I run my boat no different than I did before the limit was imposed. On Saturday and Sunday afternoons I take it easy as I did before the limits... too many boats out anyway. Saturday mornings or mid week out in the Broads is a different story. Of course I have a boat that only does mid to high 60s anyway.

My advice be careful around the islands as I hear that is where they hide. They have to be close for the radar to work so if you are out in the Broads you would see them. I heard in the past they give you to 55, but not sure if that still holds true.

My 2 cents... if you want to run all out all the time, Winnie isn't the place. If you don't mind cruising around in the 45-50 range and occasionally stretching it out, then you will be Fine if you pick your spots and do it Safely. We have been out twice this season already and did not see them gunning anyone yet.

Was there from 11-5 weather was overcast and cold. Started right up no issues but found out someone took the impella out of my genset and the toilet was cracked. Picked up new toilet today $500 later. I was all alone except for the salmon fishers didn't even see marine patrol but they'll be out this weekend.
