Hardly the 'sound of freedom.' I don't mind the speed, as I'm sure it will be operated appropriately by a sober skipper, but that deafening sound robs other boaters of LM's tranquility. Please be mindful of your fellow boaters. Thx.

From state law:

Mufflers and Noise Level Limits

* A vessel's engine must have a muffler or exhaust water manifold for noise reduction or another effective muffling system.

* The use of cut-outs or exhaust stacks is prohibited.

* It is illegal to operate a powerboat or PWC, or allow others to operate, in such a manner that the noise level exceeds 86 decibels measured at 50 feet from the vessel. You must submit to a noise level test if requested by a law enforcement officer.

* It is illegal for recreational boaters to use or have on board a siren of any type while operating on the waters of Alabama.
