Ok, I've mostly been ignoring this newsgroup for a while. But in the

couple day's
I've started or participated in a few off topic threads. To to adjust
my
rec.boats karma
I'll try to start a few boating threads.


Our Chris Craft, which we finally got restored and running last
summer, is a
bit loud. It doesn't bother me much but it seems most of our "guests"
don't
find it annoying. I'm trying to decide whether to put in a muffler or
not.
In the Yes column is the noise reduction. In the No column is the
pain &
expense -- but mostly that we loose the "authentic" and "ogirinal"
feel. ~
We tried to restore her keeping things pretty close to original - but
we
weren't a slave to that. And I really don't care about winning any
boat-shows.

So, what would you do / what do you think?

Personally, I'd keep it, as well as anything on your boat, as authentic
and original as possible.
