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.

This is no longer a problem.... Silent Choice has been legal since 2011... you still have to pass the over all exhaust noise limit, but having a switchable system to get even quieter is legal
As for Winnie loosing up, as other have said as long as you aren't flamboyant about your actions, you are likely to be fine. I wouldn't run the length of the lake WOT, but with short burst here and there you should be able to fly under the radar... and then stick to the limit the rest of the time..... From a sound perspective, well that is a different story... if people start complaining I have noted the MP will go over to specific areas and test boats (public docks)... As long as they aren't getting complaints I doing usually see much testing going on.

Awesome ! Got a link to show that as a fact so my argument to the Popo's isn't "Some guy on the internet said so..." LOL.

Happy to report that performance boats are alive and well at lake winni. I just got back from spending a week up there and there are tons of cool boats, along with a very nice Nor-tech on the Paugus Bay end of the channel. Not as prevalent as the 90's but it looks like a positive come back!
