Re: Buying advice : Would you trust a 50yr old polyester boat?

Re: Unnecessary Boat Noise Regulations

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see so much of a problem with exhausts on go fast boats. Sure they are loud, but it is something I've gotten used to after 50 years of being on the water. I don't...
