Has anyone metered the 6.2 Merc for noise level??? What db is it testing? Are we going to have to get muffler just for our 1 or 2 trips a year to Havasu?? At our lake "Naci" we haven't had any problems yet this year!!!! Thanks in advance!!! :confused: :boxed:

Just becasue you have not had any problems at Naci yet does not mean you won't once the season gets closer. The law is a CA state law, not an AZ law. Does your exhaust exit under the waterline at idle?

I've got the same boat. yes it exits under water. I've been around boats for a long time and this one is REALLY quiet. There shouldn't be any problems at all.

Ya it is below the swim step!!! I understand what you guys are saying about Naci... that is why I said yet!!! The rangers there don't seem to care about the noise... I have never seen them hassle anyone over noise... If anybody will hassle us over noise it will be the Sheriff that patrols the lake. It is not like Havasu, we do have custom boats, but we mostly have Tournament Boats!!! We seem to get more custom boats every year though. :D :D

Was up there two years ago with a friend and his tournament boat and was amazed at how many of those they had up there. Didn't see one West Coast custom at all, only tournamnet and production boats.

It has changed alot in the last couple of years... we do have several locals with custom boats!!!! Shockwave, HTM, Eleminator, Essex, Stoker, Nordic, Carrera, DCB, Hawaiian and a couple of party cats!!! The lake is almost full you should make a trip to Naci this summer. :D :D

I would, but the boat stays in the garage in Havasu and I think a 29 might be a little big for that lake. :confused: :confused:

Redneckgirl , do you have smartcraft ? Curious about your
consumption at different throttle levels. Also what prop
and RPM you have ?

No smartcraft and I think we are running 21 prop.

The 21 might be small for your engine. What is your max
rpm . What prop 3/4 blade you have ? My engine with
Bravo 1 four blade [ labbed] turning an optimum 5000 .
Max recommended rpm is rated 4800- 5200 for these
engines.
