who is "they". Law enforcement or local hired rentaramp rangers?
you boys should come up to Idaho, i gots buddies that run open headers all day long. i will be too shortly. my boat got safety inspected once this summer and it passed, no flame arrestor (velocity stack) and open exhaust. only reason it got inspected is we were in oregon and they like to pick on the out of staters.
i know my post doesnt pertain to you guys, im PWI thats all. :messedup:
I'd like to know under what authority these people are checking boats for noise? Especially using a standard that isn't in compliance with Arizona Law, and won't be in place in California until 1/1/05.
Arizona and California is still governed by the 86db at 50 feet standard, so any other tests are not valid.
We can't do anything about California, but for clarification on the Arizona issue contact the Arizona Game and Fish Dept at 602-942-3000. Press Zero and ask for the Law Enforcement Branch.
I'm not sure what can be done about Lake Havasu Marina, since they are a private enterprise, and have the right to "Refuse Service to Anyone". Many have contacted State Land Department regarding them.
But for Public/Govt owned launching areas like Windsor, Cattail Cove, and Site Six, they would have to follow Arizona law, regarding noise levels and any other issues. You may want to contact Arizona State Parks in Phoenix, regarding issues with any of ther facilities.
Keep in mind that Government agencies don't care about such statements like, "I heard that....." or "My friend was......". Only call with first hand experiences, that you personally were denied access, or your boat was tested. Get the name of the person testing and/or refusing to let you launch, and have the exact date and time it happened, and any other circumstances.
Havasu Springs does not test any boats before launching, nor does any other launch area in La Paz County, such as on the Strip and Take-Off Point.
who is "they". Law enforcement or local hired rentaramp rangers? rent ramp rangers were doing the testing.
