Saved money by dropping the teak-deck option and getting a Kahlenberg.
AusCan: while Australian state regulations don't specifically require an electric or air horn, all DO require a vessel to have a sound signalling device on board: could be a bell, a whistle, a horn...but you do need something that will make a noise. At least in NSW, it has to be good for 2nm hearing.
I have AFI twins and I think they are plenty loud enough. When I blow them, my wife reports immediately to the galley to prepare a snack.AFI does claim to have the loudest electric at about 128 db I believe.

In the planning stages are some powerful air horns. I want to see ragbaggers cringe in terror at the sound
I have both the weasel- squeaker portaboe (for the Whaler) and a set of proper two-tone electric horns onboard.....

Explains my situation well. Two tone electric horns I have, nobody can hear them at any distance though. I had 149 of these facing me in a tight channel last Saturday.
Art, about time you sounded off.
