Ricky,

Thank you very much for the insight and the kind offer. I will stay in touch with you as we get closer to finalizing our plans for a visit this summer. Hope winter treats all of you well.

Chris,
It's my home base as well and there are bigger and faster boast than mine on it every weekend

Let me know if I can help. The lake gets a bad rap because of speed limits and noise limits. Ive been boating here my entire life. Never been stopped, never had an issue. You will need mufflers and as long as you dont run it like an idiot, you will be fine.

One of the most beautiful lakes in the country.

I do not have mufflers...guess I can get some...I love Lake George...boating there when I was a kid from South Londonderry, VT. I will stay in touch and let you guys know our plans...What is the decibel limit for exhaust? I can't remember from the last time we were there with the Scarab...I do remember the speed limit. The lake is to beautiful to fly on it...you miss the scenery.

Welcome to LG! If we can help in any way let me know! The decibel limit is the same as all NYS waterways, 90Db at an idle. If you have mufflers(or silent thunder) you'll probably be fine. It may not technically pass, but you wont have a big red target on your back. Basically, open pipes are a no. The speed limit is still 45, but if you're smart don't be afraid to give it a little poke if nobody is around, especially up north. Go flying through a busy bay on a weekend, expect trouble.
