 These potential new regulations would be the death of a long and
thriving lively hood for the common and self reliant person or
families. We can't afford the additional cost of retrofitting our
boats and vessels, many of these seamen and women are just
scratching out a living as is with the rising cost of fuel and
berthing and safety equipment. We're some what able now to fix our
our motors and equipment on our boats, these new engines your
requiring we'd be stranded at seas, unable to fix an electrical
problem mixing salt water and electricity don't mix.we would need
grants and other tax deferments to make up for the slim profits we
could make. Look what happened to the farmers- they were all hard
working everyday day people then one by one big business bought
them out and now Congress bails them out year after year. More and
more subsidies going there way as we the people pay higher and
higher food costs- Please take a second or third look to who we are
- we're trying to get by with what we have and that is
determination to make it on our own.  Thank you!
