Please consider the tremendous financial burden that the new
regulations would put on the commercial boat industry.
(sportfishing, whale watching, sight seeing, etc...) The cost
involved to retrofit older boats, or build new ones would bankrupt
or put out of business these companies, putting a high number of
citizens out of work, as well as denying people with limited means
who cannot afford private pleasure craft the ability to enjoy the
outdoors. In my opinion the negative effects this proposal would
bring forth highly outweigh the very limited positives. Sounds like
a very misguided regulation.
