Based on fairly reliable information, Lake Tahoe is the only one banning 2 stroke motors. You might notice though on the new boats purchasing info it says the 2 stroke is not available for California.
Someone want to explain it all? I'm curious too. I just spent 300 plus on my old one so I hope they don't ban them.
I'm guessing you can still be ok with one for a few years or many, however, CA. is a ridiculous EPA air quality misguided nightmare in my opinion.
Make sure to have the motor tested for compression and it's a good idea to have the impeller/water pump changed to a new one.
Grats on your new boat. I'll see you out there on lake when mine gets finished in a month or two.
I've never owned a boat before so it will be an interesting experience. I just pray I don't ruin the dock or forget the drain plug.
