I have a friend with a 38 ft Baja who was tested, albeit incorrectly, and failed. It seems the officer stuck the probe under the swim platform and announced he failed. I don't really want to get into all he went through, but he had the summons thrown out. He has been asked twice since then to allow a voluntary test, and has declined. At this point, he feels, and I believe rightfully so, he is being targeted.

Bottom line is that when he is asked, he or his wife videos the encounter.

If you own a "be loud" boat, inform yourself of the proper procedures of the testing process, and make sure that these procedures are being adhered to.

BTW, my new boat is a GOBPQ...Goes OK But Pretty Quiet.
