This is Representative Whalley's newest change to the noise regulations?

It's especially "involved" when I'm reading that there are several manufacturers who are building custom through-hull exhausts that will pass 92dB tests to conform to other states' noise laws.

...But found this quote of particular interest to the MPs on the Big Lake:
Quote:
"...Trick Marine. They are in the water when not on plane and they pass. "
IMHO, nothing on Lake Winnipesaukee has changed the lake's friendly nature more than the volume of noise, both amplified noise and barely-muffled exhaust noise.

Did I mention, "in my opinion"?

Yes, it appears I did!
