Re: Need recomedation for loud marine speakers
I look at it this way.... this country was founded upon people fighting because their rights were infringed. People regardless of whether they want to play loud music or not on their boats have the right to do so.
In a world where popluation is increasing everyday we will eventually run out of space so you cannot simply solve the propblem by saying its not proper ettiquette. I can see how in the ocean where its spacious, maybe you can have a say on what you want to hear but when you are on a lake and there are hundreds or thousands of people trying to enjoy the same thing you are then they should be allowed to do so as well, if noise bothers your boating experience then maybe then maybe you should think about purchasing property on their own lake for their own private enjoyment, but since the lakes and ocean are public and are paid for by everyones tax dollars and boat registration fees, then you have to accept what the other tax paying citizens want as well.
From my experiences in life the only public place that you can go that doesnt allow noise is the library so if you dont like the sounds of people having fun and enjoying nature just like you, but in their own way go there on your boat, but until you boaters that like to discriminate on other boaters for relaxing in a different way get your own private lakes then you will just have to deal with the noise or wear ear plugs. We are surrounded by noise whether its from construction to living animals chirping, and buzzing. if its quiet you are in need of you should be napping on your bed or couch anyways. You should be on your boat to relax and enjoy the water instead of worrying about someone else's music because they arent playing Neil Diamond or Toby Keith.
And really I dont understand how boating with loud music is more of a problem than boating and drinking.... I can always turn my music down but you can never bring back a lost life.
To each their own..... I have enough of my own bussiness to worry about, then to worry about someone elses. we hire people for that they are called the police... Sounds more like boat envy to me than anything... "look at that boat playing that dumb music!!!" but in reality they are saying " Damn kids got a nicer boat than me." "what can i say about it to make it seem like its a piece of crap and help me feel better about my piece of crap?"
