Dude, that boat is sensational!

you guys are lucky you're allowed to run with zoomies. That would get shut down and fined at the ramp here by the fun police

Nice to see you giving it a clean run to start the day arty2:

Oz:thumbsup:thumbsup

 

[Crazyhippy]

"Allowed" is such an odd word...

Able to get away with would be better During the week, not to early, but not to late, and sure dont get to run for long:smackbum:

We have to deal w/ some fairly strict noise regulations, but as they say, it's only illegal if you get caught:skull

In AZ you can get a test and tune permit to run a race boat on the river. Plus this part of the colorado river has a lot of history with racing boats. The police here try to be sensitive i guess is the word... To maintain balance between people just being stupid noisy at stupid hours of the day. And maintaining the history of this place being known for high performance boats and keeping that history alive. Boatcop once stopped me with Zoomies and saw i had mufflers in each pipe. No ticket... It was his discretion... He could of given me a ticket but he didn't... He saw I was making a effort to reduce noise. I try to manage the noise of my boat along with its wake in noise sensitive areas. I don't run it in the densely populated areas #1 and #2 drive it at a reasonable hour of the day. I do the same thing when I'm riding my Dirt Bike, Harley or Airplane. It's easy just roll off the throttle if you think you're going to disturb the peace.

They use "discretion" here too. You can either have one large ticket or at their discretion, they'll just keep writing them...

There's one Azzhat here who rides around on a PWC so he can hide in places along the riverbank and wait for unsuspecting "criminals" to go by. He actually ticketed a friend of mine who put his boat in at his own private property, looped 50yards back around to the shore and stopped. What was the ticket for? Didn't have his licence on him. He offered to get it from the car that was still sitting on the ramp but was told unacceptable...

It's nice to see there are still reasonable folks out around your area who can appreciate boats like you have.

Nice boats :thumbsup:thumbsup

Way cool Mike, great thoughts. We try to be 'tasteful' also when we run the TR2; We're mainly weekend folk so as you know, there's a ton more people around and it has to be a crack of dawn deal for safety. We make every effort to make the passes just below your place or where there isn't a habitated side of the river. Good comment on the local authorities also. Being a resident since 1980, it is very apparant they too are proud of the Strip and it's Hi-Perf heritage. I also have been politely advised but never ticketed for noise nor speed.

Thats gotta be one of the greatest sounds to wake up too, whether on vacation at a house on the river or at at my Granpa's place in Cienega Springs. My girlfriend hated it cause I'd wake up to the sound of a flatty comin up the river and run out side and sit on the dock to wait for it to pass by. I hope the stay resonable and keep the heritage alive
