If my understanding of the CARB mandated technology is correct, the
enforcement of the guidelines would appear to likely do extreme
damage to the recreational sportfishing and whale watching
industry, to those individuals that make a living within the
industry, to the boat owners themselves, and greatly curtail if not
completely destroy, the sportfishing and whale watching enjoyment
thousands of Californians, and tourists alike currently enjoy.
As a fisherman of many years, I have nothing but praise for the
captains and crews of the many boats I have been out on, and have
never been aboard any that were not kept in immaculate running
order. 
I don't disagree with the evaporative targets set forth by CARB,
but the guidelines set out for the technology are beyond irrational
in their prohibitive costs to the boat owners, along with an
absolutely unreasonable timeline.
Please halt this mandate until further work is done on its fair and
feasible application.
Thank you for your time and thought regarding this.
