$250 Ticket for loud exhaust
This afternoon I was headed down the intrecoastal to put the boat on the trailer. I was only going about 35 MPH. I was pulled over by the marine patrol for the 2nd time since I got the boat. Last time he gave me a warning on my exhaust. This time he wrote me a $250 ticket. It says over 120 DB. He said next time he's impounding the boat.
This is very frustrating! Are they cracking down on loud exhaust everywhere??

Re: $250 Ticket for loud exhaust
here at loto- they escort you back to your dock or to the boat ramp, I and alot of others got tired of it and went with the custom turndowns, I know a good friend who ultimately ended up blowing a motor after putting several mufflers on at the same time, heard Florida is now starting to crack down, all of the MTI's here have the turndowns. thought you were selling your boat?
