Not only semi’s I’m hoping it’s on everything.

The mandates have been lifted but manufactuers will be slow to adjust because thay know the next jerkwad liberal that gets elected is going to get the same BS reinstated.

Its not just the regulations its the chicken tax that drives the price to high.

Yall are comparing old 2 strokes to new 4 strokes.thats not a good comparison.look at the evenrude E techs before they stopped making them.the technology is there to be MORE fuel efficient end just as quet as a 4 stroke with alot better power to weight ratio.if regulations are laxed and 2 stroke outboards are become available again,hopefully the 4 stroke fad that helped to end them,will be over[/quote]

Nope, I’m not comparing old 2 strokes, actually had an e tech before I got a Yamaha 4 stroke. That’s actually what I’m comparing to. Not as quiet, not as good on fuel. I had 15 less hp, burnt more fuel, couldn’t hear my passenger.
