Noise Laws & Turbines????

[MADDOG355]

Ok I have to ask. What is the deal with the turbine boats and the noise laws? Are they exempt, Or is there actually a way to quiet them down some?

Classic Arneson for sure Brian. Gean was in the back seat for this one. She said it felt like a blast furnace.

To answer the question - as long as the pipe is facing up the noise level is very low to a sound meter at water level, at least mine was.
