RE: CARB Addresses Public Comments and Concerns (Jan. 21-Feb. 3)

“These CARB regulations affect 300 or so vessels in CA like that is going to make a difference in air quality in a state with 40 million vehicles! Also, all the container ships sitting off the coast right now are a bigger problem than the fishing vessels. This proposal would kill the recreational fishing fleet, not that CARB gives a hoot. This is an all-out assault on recreational fishing! However, this is all probably just window dressing, as we found out with the MPLA process. The sanctimonious government officials just did what they wanted to anyway.”

“CARB is composed of fools who want to force an untried engine in a marine application.

If they thought first, they would have several prototypes built and tested on the water.

Once they have developed a safe and sane replacement for the present marine engines, then they could consider making it mandatory. Their stupid attempt to make it viable by pointing boat owners to grant programs is laughable.”
