Unfortunately, I believe you are going to find that disturbing the peace doesn't go into effect until 11:00pm. And then because the lake is divided between 2 counties, you'll find the police won't respond because they can't determine what county the boat is in, even if they could tell, they don't have a way to get out to the boat and do anything. According to the marine patrol, they don't have jurisdiction on disturbing the peace. I feel for you but it's no difference when a ski boat with loud music comes blaring through during the day where you can hear it from inside the house. Or the loud boats that scream up and down the lake. Party boats park at School Bus Island and crank the music up. Marine police can't do anything about it. And when someone complains, they turn it up all the way.
In my opinion, I pick my battles and that isn't one of them. The way I look at it, I'd rather it be a boat cruising instead of a party next door every week. But I do feel for you.
