Itd you are actually incorrect about what you have stated. Bigger Boats and bigger motors do not always mean more pollution.

I ask you to look towards a new motor out on the market today, The evinrude ETEC. The etec is a two stroke direct injection outboard, from 100-275 horsepower. Its CO parts per million content is lower than many 4 strokes off considerable size and even less. So ya see with these bigger boat doesnt always come more polllution. It just happens to be the motor. Also you have skipped over the fact that Volvo Marine, is in the process of creating a catalytic converter for marine engines and mercruiser is in the process of testing their 496 MAG HO with a catalytic converter system. Boating industry reports show that these motors with cats in them will actually pollute less than most 4 banger out boards on the lake these days. Also in retrospect to the 2 stroke vs big boat idea, A two stroke motor usually is the highest polluter since 2 stroke motors do not usually burn all their fuel, sometimes only half and the other is put out as exhaust. As for diesel, well with the diesel yes you are promoting more PPM per a burn, however you are burning less since the diesel is much more economical and smarter to run, which not many people gather since all they see is the black smoke which is just the abscence of air in a turbocharged diesel, or blow by which happens to be just an afterproduct of diesel burn. However Common rail diesel injection is working to fix this. My point being that lets not turn this into another "MAN WITH BIG BOAT MAKE BIG POLLUTION" thread.

As for the Masshole comment, its been around forever. NH people on a majority usually complain about mass people, they call us "Yuppies" cause we flock to our vacation homes in their areas. Hasn't anyone seen what about bob and how much the nh family hates the doctor for buying that house? Its still the same in most parts. Now while i'm from mass, I look at it this way towards NH people, you can hate me all you want, but when me and my friends leave your lakes and stop boating in our stupid , big, smelly, gas guzzling boats and stop buying gas at your docks, You will have nothing.....
