That reminds me of this quote:

the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.
If the boat has to be able to pass the noise test in open or closed mode I kind of think this is a mute point. As it stands right now, if a MP officer "thinks" your boat might be too loud he can effect a stop and issue a citation requiring you to take the noise test.... the proposed law does not change this.
