Dear CARB -

As an avid fisherman who primarily uses charter boats for fishing
activities I feel compelled to write that forcing these companies
out of business due to changes in requirements that end up causing
their existing boats to be scrapped is an unreasonable and unfair
activity to enforce. These are small businesses, and many cannot
afford to purchase brand new boats just to meet changes to CARB
requirements, thus resulting in them either having to close their
business or increase their prices beyond reasonableness. This will
have an overall negative impact on San Diego as a whole due to the
loss in revenues, tourism, and just the general leisure we enjoy
today.

Please reconsider any changes that would have such a detrimental
impact to this industry. The amount of emissions from just a small
fishing charter fleet is going to be statistically zero, so there
is zero to gain while losing so much. This would not be prudent
management.

Thanks,
Jim Quagline
