A member at MC team talk suggested i post my inquiry here. I am wonder if there is someone out there who can help me with some information regarding current decibels of inboard ski boats at varying distances. Presently I am putting together a presentation/ lease proposal for a local property owner to utilize a 15 acre lake on his property with the goal of forming a three event ski club. The owner has asked us to address the four common impacts of water skiing (Sound Pollution/ Attenuation, Shoreline Erosion & Mitigation, Environmental Impacts/ Water Turbidity, and Wildlife Impacts). I am currently working on the sound portion of the proposal and was hoping to input the decibels of new 2010 and 2011 ski boat with mufflers into a chart comparing a whisper, normal conversation, city traffic, lawn mower, etc. If any one has this information it would be much appreciated. I know water ski magazine formerly published this as a part of their boat reviews, but now with their feel good reviews there is limited technical information.. Any help is much appreciated.
