I bought a 20 foot sail boat that I intend to sail around the apostle islands on lake superior. I want a fog horn, but they're either huge, 10k or both. Any cheap options for that iconic BWWOOOAAAAHHHHHHHHH?

study acoustics and make your own

I had considered that. I am had also considered what would happen if you just blasted 120PSI air through a tuba.

Well first you need to look up the regulations.

Semi-unrelated but

But to answer you might get better luck asking /n/

I'm sure if you look hard enough you can find a used one for a decent price.

That, or take a trip down to the marina at like 3:00 AM and acquire one somehow.

Indulge in this youtube classic:

we used to have a tripfag that built PVC train horns and sold them. He had a collection of train horns.

I should buy one and put it in my car

4k is still expensive, but it's a bunch cheaper than 10...

And the tugboat kit will probably still be pretty satisfying to use, at $650.

This website has sound samples for each kit they sell. I have a tugboat kit that I'm going to install in a caprice, but I haven't put it in yet.

>Studying and fabricating your own horn is easier than forking up 10k
This really is a poor board isnt it

God, I would love to rock a legit battleship horn, but 4k just to rattle fish and games bones seems steep. I bought this boat for 950 bucks.
