Just wondering what guidelines your superiors have given you for enforcement of the "big boat ban". I assume the burden of proof will be on the state to determine determine manufacture rated speed. Most manufactures don't provide rated speeds on their boats. Some do but with different motor combos and such it isn't always just as easy as the law states. I know of a group that is planning on definitive clarification from higher up the law food chain so they will know exactly what they are dealing with when stopped by the local Marine police. Your answer will be appreciated. I also have a question regarding noise limits. The Alabama law states you will take a decibel reading at 50 feet from the tail of the boat to determine the actual reading . Is there any exceptions to this and if so, can you please let us know where to find these exceptions in the state laws. Thanks again for your answers.
