Please reconsider the new CARB regulations as they will be greatly
detrimental to the lives of thousands of people. With the new
regulations, owners of sport boats will be forced to completely re
do their engines which will put them out of work for a long time.
To add to that, ticket prices will increase drastically in order to
fund these restoration projects which will ultimately keep people
off the water due to the higher price of entry. 

Sport fishing as an industry employs hinders of people who have
dedicated their lives to pursuing their passion and by implementing
these new regulations they will almost certainly see the ends of
their careers and be forced to move to a state where they can
continue their craft, or in worst possible cases be forced to start
a new one. 

Additionally, it will affect the lives of thousands of customers
who find happiness in going out on one of these boats. Myself and
countless of my friends who I've met through sportfishing,
constantly comment on how this is our therapy. Being on the water
helps clear our mind of all the negativity that we deal with when
on land. With the prices of tickets going up due to the
regulations, we will either be forced out of going, or drastically
decrease the amount of times we can go. 

Please, reconsider these regulations as the economic impact, and
the emotional impact this will have drastically outweighs any
benefit created.
