Sometimes laws with good intentions are written a little to broadly
and unintended consequences are the result. In this case the law
will wipe out an industry because the costs are just to large to
bear for independent sportfishing industry boats. In this case the
technology is not even available to retrofit or repower a fishing
vessel. It is the equivalent of scraping off a house and rebuilding
because the roof isn't angled correctly for solar panels. Please
consider a less specific alternative such as setting limits for
existing exhaust output and giving time for the industry to come up
with better solutions to meet a cleaner exhaust requirement. I am
sure by working together with the sportfishing industry and CARB a
workable solution is possible.
