Clean boat act. Revisited.

[Carnivore]

Haven't had time to check it out for sure but doubt BoatUS would send false info.



Dear BoatU.S. Member,
Thanks to some great teamwork, the threat of a new EPA discharge permit for all your boats is gone!

On Tuesday night, President Bush signed into law "The Clean Boating Act of 2008," which gives recreational boats a permanent exemption for the court imposed EPA discharge permit.

I thank each of you for helping create this victory for boating. Every time we asked for your help, you were there to push the legislation further down the path towards successful passage. You contacted your Members of Congress and helped them understand the importance of boating in your life. And Congress heard the loud voices of tens of thousands of boaters! Nice work!

Enjoy the rest of the summer on the water!

Well that is one bullet dodged so now if the gas prices keep dropping and the fish come out to play, owning a boat will be a little bit better.

Yes. It was in the LA Times last week sometime, also.

Then another 600+ dollar bill for just owning a boat.
