Please DO NOT pass legislation requiring boat owners to buy new
engines. The bigger engines you're proposing have a larger foot
print and will not fit in many existing engine compartments. This
will cause many boat owners to go out of business because they can
not afford to purchase new boats with the required engines. These
are tax paying citizens and passage of this regulation will force
them into unemployment. Many of these business people are barely
making a living as it is. And to suggest that I, as a sports
fisherman, will pay higher prices to go sportfishing is an
erroneous assumption. I can barely afford to go now as it is.
Increasing the price that will be required to fund a new boat will
price me out of the sportfishing market. So I urge you to
reconsider your stance and LEAVE THINGS ALONE!
