They also test at an idle right now, instead of making you spend a Sunday morning at Timber Island for a fly by test.

Once we where bein forced to do a fly by at Meredith docks on a Sunday..within 150ft of the docks..well, uh....I'll have to tell you the story when we run into each other. Fking brutal situation.

Things are better now ! As has been stated.

Use some sort of mufflers, don't drive like an azzwipe when congested, and you'll typically be fine.

As long as you mind your own business and don't try to draw any extra attention to yourself you will be fine. I don't run any mufflers and I go down there many times through out the summer. The MP just wave and pass by. If you have a boat full of people screaming and carrying on as your pulling up or out of the Naswa...Your going to get tagged.

Make an effort to maintain the 150 foot rule and don't blatantly break the speed limit in congested areas and you will be just fine.
I will go on record, it doesn't pass ! Ha That boat is loud.

I just bought a top gun that was a winny regular (probably the last one). Was told that their's a poker run weekend when performance boats are welcome back with no noise restriction. Anyone else here of this? Id like to go. Also I have a set of large mufflers and turn downs if someone is interested, still have receipts. Funny side note, the paper work with the boat had a pile of noise violations...... and passes?

I think I may know the boat. Blue dash and black gauges if I'm not mistaken with blower motors in it. I talked to the guy for about an hour last summer and he was pissed about all the trouble he got over noise. He said then he was going to sell it over the hassle. I saw it last fall on boat trader.

I run on winni almost every weekend. I run a 525HP and haven't had any issues with noise. Would def be interested in getting some info if there is a poker run happening.
