Why would one who is not racing boats, need to make them as loud as

Why does one have to race to enjoy going fast? I used to enjoy playing
an occasional game of football when I was a kid, that doesn't mean I
need to join a professional team.


Where did I say that you shouldn't enjoy going fast? What I asked was,
does one mile an hour give you that much joy, to have to have
completely open exhaust? Jeez, if so, walk, three miles an hour should
really excite you!


If walking at 3 MPH excited me, I would 've bought a sailboat. When it
comes to the subject of maximum performance, you either understand it,
or you don't. Have you ever watched the things that car racing guys do
to pick up an additional few MPH? The same thing goes for the guys on
water. The biggest difference is that the legal speed limits generally
make recreational racing illegal on the road. On the water, this is
usually not the case. Guys are free to take part in impromptu "races"
at any time. Obviously the drive to win will push these guys to use
every resource at their disposal to make their boat as fast as
possible (or that they can afford to spend). There is almost endless
prop swapping, engine tweaks, waxing the bottom, cutting out excess
weight etc. A race can be won or lost by 1 MPH.

If you think that's silly then you don't get it. Nothing wrong with
that, but don't denigrate those who do.


Why would these people
have a need to run them near people, instead of open water?

How do you get to the open water?


You don't have to go wide open to get there do you?


But you can, so why not, if it's what you enjoy?

Dave



Because it is noisy, obnoxious behavior that can and often does intrude
upon others. Most penis-boat-boys receive the well-deserved
single-fingered salute when they roll by with their damned opened
exhausts. They're older, but no different, than the assholes who have
the 400 watt amps in their little cars, and boost the bass so everyone
can hear their crappy music.

Your opinions are obnoxious behavior that intrudes upon others. So who
are you to make value judgements?

Which is more than made up for by the "hi five" signs they get from
others who appreciate the fine art of high performance.

Ahh, but there's a difference. If you think my opinions represent
obnoxious behavior, you can filter me out or not read them, eh? But when
assholes like you drive by in their unmuffled penis boats, one cannot
filter you out. Your obnoxious behavior is right there...

Got it?

There's nothing "high performance" about these overpowered stock boats.
They're mostly just deep vees with huge modified car engines. What a
yawner.

I do have to agree you on this one. Your behavior is as obnoxious as an
unmuffled high performance boat.

You can always leave if it bothers you so much. It must really suck
being someone who is so sensitive to others activities to the point
that you would vocally oppose their right to enjoy life, because they
"bother" you.

And once again, you demonstrate your extreme ignorance of the subject.
Stick to language obfuscation, you obviously know little about
mechanics or engineering subjects.

High performance hull designs have evolved considerably in the last
several years. There is much more to a high performance boat than an
"Overpowered deep V".
On the subject of engines, how many inboard engines do you know of,
that aren't "modified car engines"? Nothing earth shattering about
that revelation.

Trying reading a little on the subject before you subject yourself to
another helping of shoe leather....

Ahh, but this is the fallacy in your position. Folks enjoying peace and
quiet, and some asshole with a loud boat comes by and shatters it all.
And stays around. So...the folks who were enjoying the peace and quiet
are the ones who should leave.

So you want to get philosophical on me eh? Is quiet simply the absence
of noise? Or is noise simply the absence of quiet. Does someone's
right to enjoy the absence of noise supersede another's right to enjoy
the absence of quiet?

Yeah, it does. There is no practical reason for a penisboat to be a
disturber of the peace. Effective marine engine sound control systems
are readily available. When we lived on the ICW in Florida, I reported a
number of noise-offending boats to the County authorities and on several
occasions, they chased down the obnoxious idiots and gave them a
citation for violation of noise-control laws. Perhaps we need to work on
such regs for Maryland.
