See my post #17
But they wave the 150 foot rule for the old way they test, why wouldn't they wave it on old boats??? I did ask them to wave the speed limit on the roads after a test since I was late for dinner???? They got a laugh out of it,.. but I still don't understand how they can wave a law put there for your and their safety?? for the sake of a Test Lucky knowone has been hurt or worsre with the old test
The new test has it's own problems as you have stated.... and I think you will find a lot of old timers still running pre 77 motors ( I for one still have and run the motor from when dad pulled me skiing ,1966 Merc) and hope to pass it on to my kids ( thanx synthetic oils) The other thing as you stated is what do we do with all those wooden boats ( That might make a good post
) ( maybe fire wood?? KIDDING) and the tour boats??
