I was under the impression that the ''noise'' that is currently being complained about was from on-board sound systems rather than motors.

OK - just my opinion - I will take a moderately loud V-8 over moderately quiet rap music any day.

My boat is louder than most since it has a straight exhaust on it yet everyone I pass on boat or land tends to love it. It's amazing the watching the irony of these arguments always come up. I'm just here for the comments

certainly not the lyric parts, but a lot of the musical parts are " borrowed " from other artists, so it's kinda music... ;-)

Let me apologize right now for introducing rap music (I mean noise) into a thread on the speed limit, My bad.

Hope everyone can get back on track.
