Members of the Carb Board: Offshore fishing and the party boat
industry pretty much runs on a shoe string trying to keep prices
low and struggling to purchase Fuel, Insurance, benefits to
employees, harbor dock fees advertising, Bait contracts, and at the
same time promote fishing to the new anglers and try to keep the
cost competitive with the industry so that their boats are safe and
full of returning anglers, Carb restrictions on this industry is
ridiculous as it will cripple the industry with trying to repower
with some thing that is unable to be retrofitted and most likely
the purchase of a newer boat would have to be the solution> This
would force most if not all Sport Fisher charters  into bankruptcy
or just abandoning the California coast line and moving to another
harbor, or shutting down their business. Please evaluate this
decision as to the gain that will be appreciate from approx 175
boats,and the destruction of families and recreation of Fishing
