There are several other ways for older boats to off set emissions. 
 The airline industry and many other forms of transportation as
well as large corporation utilize carbon off sets as part of the
nuetral carbo footprint strategy.   I encourage CARB resources
board to offer or enable small businesses like sports fishing boat
owner the same opportunities for offsets verses passing regulations
that essentially will cost boat owners their business due to the
extraordinary cost to retrofit with new engines.   The engine room
space necessary for after treatment in order to achieve tier 3 or 4
diesel emissions is just not available in a boat.    After
treatment exchangers, valves and urea storage is equal or larger
than the engine itself.  It would be a shame to regulate small
businesses out of business when other sound strategies are
available.
