I was thinking exactly the same thing! Unless it's your own private lake, or you're waaaayyy off shore, you're being less than considerate to be pumping your tunes loud enough to drown out the sound of a straight through exhaust on a V8. I assume my boat is similar in noise to yours, and even though I only ski for 10 or 15 minutes a couple of times a day, I'm still looking at both FAE and some sort of muffler like the silent rider. I just don't want to be the dick everybody rolls their eyes at every time they hear my boat start.
