Dave: No comments from the peanut gallery.

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?


On a parallel noisy note, what about boaters with those f**cking yippy
dogs?

I'd love to shoot 'em, but I'd hate to miss and damage an otherwise nice
boat.
