I'm using the term "speedboats" to describe boats which sound like they have
(and probably do have) a pair of 400+ cubic inch motors in the back? In
order to achieve their purpose (speed), is it absolutely necessary for them
to be as noisy as they are, or are they just designed that way, in the same
way some morons alter their motorcycles because "loud pipes save lives"?
And, when they're idling, why do they sound (and smell) as if the engines
are only firing on half their cylinders?

Well guys, there is quiet a bit of discussion on this thread. I'd like
to add that ulitmately it comes to personal freedom of the one vs.
personal freedom of the other. One finds it fun to roar around the
other finds it fun to listen to the sounds of nature.

Nobody is wrong but from my experience it is that the faster and more
powerized sport/toy/vessel will someday be stripped of its freedom
with overly harsh laws and regulations thus totally wrecking ALL fun.



"Wrong" is to disturb everyone else's peace so you can "enjoy" the noise
your penisboat makes.

There is no reason why these penisboats have to be so loud. They can be
muffled so they are not annoying, and they can be rigged with
pass-troughs for offshore use.


Yes correct. And if I would own one I would make sure I dont annoy
others too much as otherwise they will start imposing laws on me which
will prevent me from boating. It may take a few years but the most
powerized seems to always lose in these matters.

Its usually better to just give up a little bit then head for the all
out confrontation.
