The boat definitely will not pass the 'stationary' test, as the mufflers need a good volume of water passing through to muffle the noise. A decade ago, it pass the WOT test and I have a paper that it passed. At the time the law states testing at WOT.

It would cost over $4000 to remove the DARPA and replace it with the Silent Choice. Anyone has used 4" thru the hull mufflers they would like to part?
