Some of the responses, well, it's almost like trying to argue with some junior high kid (a number of which seem clearly to be failing English class). And they're so darned over the top in terms of anger and theatrics. Replies like "get a life", "pleeeeeeeaaaaaase" and the like hardly reach the dizzying heights of clever repartee. The level to which some of the dialogue here has descended concerns me.
Believe it or not, I get very angry when there is a boat that is excessively loud. I spent several thousands of dollars on the appropriate mufflers to be in compliance. Once in a while, there will be a vistor up for a weekend that is not legal, decibel wise. That makes it tough on all of us. I have had alot of performance boaters call me before they come to the lake and all of them purchased mufflers and installed them before they were launched at the lake. I respect your rights and hopefully you can respect mine.The law is in place.
