OK..  So now that people are saying that they are getting a stricter on noise levels, I decided to go out and look for some mufflers for my thru transom exhaust..  But guess what they are all either sold out or not really mufflers....  

Anyone know where I can find some that are in stock???

You must be talking about these........Rex Marine

Not early April :beat  :(

Try looking up in Nor Cal or Phoenix area for boat shops where they are not being such dicks about the noise yet.

Those are the ones...  But not only are they outta stock, but they are $800.00...  Anyone know what the design looks like on the inside.  I might just throw a design in the laser and make some for myself?  And others that are in need, for a cheep price!  :D

Remember, the Marina is not the law... There are pages and pages of posts over on Hotboat about the marina's sound checking/launching policy...

Just curious, how loud were you???

From what I've read, the problem is that their equipment isn't calibrated, they test against a wall (the sound echos back), there are other boats and ambient noise around, and it's never consistant how they administer the test.

They have turned away boats that have passed the legal requiremant, so don't feel bad, you're in good company.

I don't know what you're running, but 97dB seems a little high...

Rex can send you the specs if you need them. They are very specific on how to take the readings. I threw a tape measure and the db meter into a zip-lock plastic bag that will go into the tool box.

I wonder if Mr. Dick Head will be in Needles in April? :stupid

That would be a general reference to guys like the one we ran into in Gorman that made my buddy put his kid's bike on the trailer because of the "New Law"..... :stupid

We got the impression that there was some kind of step-up in inforcement. One other place was checking pipes, but just for spark arrestors...thats no prob.

I've never had any issues at all with the peeps at Needles Marina....even when the kids raided the jacuzzi! :good
