Do airboaters have a grace period with the FWC in order to comply with the muffler requirement?
Yes. The FWC Commissioners wanted to ensure that the airboating community had appropriate opportunity to make the modifications necessary to comply with the law. The educational period is intended to extend until June 30, 2006. After that date, officers will continue to take an educational approach by issuing written warnings followed by citations to those who continue to violate the requirement.
