"Comply"? Yes, of course you would. Surely you are aware of other "illegal" forms of making as much noise as possible. Ever "Shut off the Water?"
But the days of "nice rumble" could be numbered:
The Union Leader has been addressing NOISE this past week in Nashua and Manchester. This Sunday's issue shows that NOISE is finally getting some representation, and that
the police are about to be sued...to do what? Enforce the Law? What a concept!

Also, this observation from
Powerboater magazine:
Quote:
"More North American locations are getting fussy about powerboat exhaust noise and ominous regulations are being suggested, even to the extent of banning performance boats.
"Various vendors' advertising in Powerboat and elsewhere make all sorts of claims as to noise suppression..."

For starters, how about catalytic converters on all truck-based boat engines that are used on protected lake waters ? (Converters bring boat engines up to automobile standards -- the highest standard in the world -- in noise and improved air quality).
Since Winnipesaukee residents are paying more and more in property taxes to be close to the NOISE and BAD AIR air, maybe -- just maybe -- Concord will get the message.
