I urge a no vote on the current proposed legislation. Sport
fishing, diving and whale watching should be affordable to
everyone. The cost to retro fit vessels with unproven technology
can be costly and will result in many vessels no longer being
available to the non boating public. 

There needs to be a means where the owners of the vessels can
receive a no interest business loan and 100% tax credit offset to
make converson feasible. If such provisions are not created then
the cost of retrofitting the vessels combined with increasing fuel
costs and insurance increases will make sportfishing, diving and
whale watching unaffordable for the average wage earner in
California. I urge a no vote for the current version.
