FYI, our soon to be ex-governor quietly signed AB1555 into law on September 24. That is the law that pertains to new noise limits on boats. In a nutshell, ALL boats must have mufflers and cannot exceed the following noise limits.
654.05. (a) A person may not operate a motorized recreational
vessel in or upon the inland waters of this state in a manner that
exceeds the following noise levels:
(1) For engines manufactured before January 1, 1976, a noise level
of 86 dbA measured at a distance of 50 feet from the motorized
recreational vessel.
(2) For engines manufactured on or after January 1, 1976, and
before January 1, 1978, a noise level of 84 dbA measured at a
distance of 50 feet from the motorized recreational vessel.
(3) For engines manufactured on or after January 1, 1978, a noise
level of 82 dbA measured at a distance of 50 feet from the motorized
recreational vessel.
Better break out that ticket book now 'cause there ain't no way my boats are gonna meet those numbers......mufflers or no mufflers!
