glen Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Some of them boats are way too loud. Is it the Hey look at me I got a boat. I guess they would lose a few HP to make it quite. Can you get some kind of big dish that will put the noise right back in their boat. Darn boat people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And living waterfront your pretty much asking for it. Unless of course you bought the house in 1939 or something(draft dodgers lol) I live next to a railway and I chose to live here so no point in complaining about the noise.

aplumma Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Nothing like firing up my twin 318's on a 28ft Marrinette with a water bath exhaust. The noise and the smell are the greatest sound in the world. If you can't afford to run the big boys at 1 gallon per 1.5 miles then stay with your little boats and enjoy the sound of my pleasure. lol My Ranger with a GTX 150 racing motor burns 9/10 gallon per minute at 60 mph. Don't let them dinosaurs die for no reason. (tongue in cheek). It is all in the way we have fun some love a kayak some want the big motors. The size of a motor has nothing to do with your junk it is the size of your wallet that does. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 That's the sound of money you hear. The best sound there is would be the sound of a Fighter Jet screaming by when they use the lakeshore here as a road map. It doesn't bother me at all hearing all the boys with their toys. It is much quitter in the past 15 years though as gas prices rose to the point no one is skiing or tubing around here anymore. I miss hearing people enjoying life. Even the sound of hundreds of bikes go by on the way to Port Dover on Friday the 13th is good in my books. Enjoy life or stay indoors is all I can say.

X2 The dragstrip in Sparta or now known as the St. Thomas Raceway opened in 1962. Sparta was a very small little village and the dragstrip was more then welcome; due to the money it would bring into the community. Now 50+ years later and after a bunch of non racers have moved into the village; there is a non stop fight with the "new" residents trying to have the dragstrip shut down. Come on people, you must have known that a dragstrip means noise; why in the hell did you buy a house there? Dan.

AKRISONER Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 noise doesnt bother me, but when seeing a guy driving a cigarette boat back and forth with a huge rooster tail on Lower buckhorn, i dont get upset, I just laugh at the poor guy's lack of package.

Old Ironmaker Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I have a neighbour here on the lake that cuts some of his firewood up with a Skill Saw. I guess it's quitter then a chainsaw. His wife was saying the noise of the Wind Turbines bothered her, I replied " More than Paul's Skill Saw singing all day long?". Rick, a gas powered leaf blower is just an extension of ones appendage.

BillM Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Well its been mentioned, now I have to ask. Why on earth would anybody, ever, ever ever ever, buy a leaf blower? Blower/Vacs are the best. You ever try to rake up 1 billion of these things? (I've got 2 maple trees on my property, lol!). The vac sucks them up and mulches them, basically turns them into dust. One of my fav yard tools for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
