watch your noise
Just letting everone know that the missouri w.p.has decided to step up thier noise level enforcement! i have been boating on this lake for about 15 years and been stopped numerous times but never had them use thier meter on my boat.i'm running a 2000 38 fountain lightning with 500efi's completely stock and no modifications,according to thier little meter i'm at 94db which is 4 over the limit of 90db.the fine is 123 dollars with a county fee of 4 dollars.So if this is going to be the new big ticket for these guys i'm shure that alot of others will feel the same about this as i do!

Nothing new....
They've been testing boats with their db meter for quite a while...I got my ticket back in 2007 on LOTO....$125.00 and off the lake until I got my slip in muffler's installed...

I am surprised that a fountain with that stock package would be over 90. Especially with the swim platform and the resulting fountain rumble.
Any one got a meter so I guy can test himself before the wp does?

Most states have adopted the 90 db level/law.

talked to fountain yesterday and they said that the built-in platforms actually make the noise level worse for testing.the sound cant resonate in all directions just towards the testing meter!
