Is this noise law like the old Puritan Blue Laws...still technically a law on the books but not, (or very rarely), enforced? If any of you have CC exhaust, how do you handle it?

Thanks!

I like the sound of a somewhat subdued V8, whether it be on a boat, car or truck. We are on Meredith Bay close to the Laconia line, so, about halfway or so on the bay.
What I don't like is having to hear a loud boat from the time it passes Eagle Island to the time it throttles down for the no wake zone in Meredith...and back. That is definitely noise pollution.
