I don't think anyone could meet that.

Fatboy, that sound issue reminds me of the 10' gator that was keeping us company while we were pulling T-Rex's boat from the canal last week. As long as she was on the surface we could be mindfull of her...as soon as she went under, that's when you worry.
The danger's still lurking, you just gotta see where it's gonna pop up.

Oh, it's going to pop up. I hope some plans are prepared to deal with it BEFORE it hits. Act rather than react. Unfortunately, I think many leaders in the airboat community have their heads in the sand on the issue hoping it will go away...........

Senator Ulrich (former sheriff of Alachua county & anti airboater) will be proposing a very low vessel sound level in 08, something similar to California's (Arnold & Charlie?) 75 dB @ 50'. Hopefully, the proposal will be viewed as unreasonable by the legislature and other boating groups. (hopefully) If it's viewed as reasonable, as in the major environmental group$$ get behind it, (Crist is appearing green) you can count on problems.

I am opposed to ANY SPECIFIC NUMBER. What is there now works. They should leave it alone.
