Top officials in the Citrus County Sheriff's Office this week questioned whether the county commission's proposed vessel noise ordinance is enforceable . . .

Here's the whole story:

Well like it says in the article... it gives them a reason to stop you ... like they need another one. Oh well the hand writing is on the wall at least they didnt ban them yet like they have here in manatee county and other places but it is coming. One fwc officer i talked to said they only place airbaots will be allowed will be in the everglades, okeechobee and maybe kissimmee if they they dont screw up kissimmee by being loud around the fish camps. Enjoy it while we can the winds of change are building and it looks like a cat 4 hurricane coming soon.
 
I think it is "Preaching to the choir" here on the Forum......but, but, but....

Now is THE TIME for all to install mufflers on our own boats and to insist that our buddies do the same thing. We are vulnerable because many are dragging their feets.

We simply have to reduce the knowledge of our presence among those who seek to eliminate us..
