"A sport-fishing boat pollutes ‘as much as 162 school buses". Will boat businesses survive regulation?

"To pay off the cost of a new boat with a cleaner-burning engine, Air Resources Board representatives suggest boat owners raise the daily price of a sport-fishing or whale-watching trip — which now ranges from about $55 to $110 — by about $40 per person".
