But I degress, the main thing we are seeing is some folks like to have
boats that make a lot of noise. (Loud steros or unrestricted exhaust)

My digression, but to the noise point.
I used to be a Harley fan. Just because it was American.
I was out driving on an errand a couple days ago and a couple Harleys
were 1/8 to 1/4 mile ahead of me. This was for a few miles. We were
doing 35.
Anytime the Harleys weren't coasting, my wife and I had to yell at
each other to be heard.
On the way home we were doing 45, chatting in normal tones.
A Gold Wing flew past 3 feet away, accelerating nicely to about 60
as he passed us.
We saw it. Didn't hear anything.
Honda Rules! Harley Sucks!
