........noise! - Split from The Island Influence

It could be the noise factor. Conceptualize this......the thundering noise made by twin 450hp V8 gasoline inboards.....or the......the buzzing sound from a pair of 225hp two-stroke carbureted V6 outboards. To some, these sound incredibly good, and to some others they sound like a big thunderous noisy nuisance. I'm not on an island but can see Bear, Mark, Mink, Timber, & Governor's (not a real island), plus the Dolly's and Horse. On a sunny summertime Saturday or Sunday it's about as quiet as a loud chainsaw. Having a 45mph speed limit would over time tone down the big fast performance boats since there would probably be less of them. Why buy a performance boat if the speed limit is 45? But, plenty of performance cars get sold and the speed limit is 65, so what do I know?
