Scuttlebutt Magazine - May 2008 - (Page 18) Page 18 • May 2008 Home of Rivertime Boats – Custom Pontoon Houseboats - Let us build you one today! www.scuttlebutt.com Urge your senators to co-sponsor S.2766, the Clean Boating Act of 2008 The Threat to Recreational Boating. Unless Congress acts soon, all recreational boaters in the country will have to obtain a federal or state permit in order to operate their boat. This means yearly fees, bureaucratic red tape, confusing and potentially state-by-state regulations, citizen suits and $32,000 per day penalties for non-compliance. These permits would apply to deck run-off, bilge water, engine cooling water and any other water-based, operational discharge from a recreational boat. The Environmental Protection Agency, due to a sweeping court order, is already writing this unprecedented new regulation on boaters. The Clean Boating Act of 2008 – Senators Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) have just introduced S.2766, the Clean Boating Act of 2008. S.2766 would fully and permanently restore a 35-year permit exemption for recreational boat incidental discharges, such as weather deck run-off and engine coolant water, and works to protect the health of the nation’s waterways by 2008 Dockage Includes winter storage Land & Launch $ summer season 500 25’ – 28’ – 30’ – 32’ – 36’ – 1,775 $ 1,988 $ 2,130 $ 2,272 $ 2,556 $ CUSTOM WELDING & FABRICATION Mercruiser Certified – Volvo Penta Parts & Service – All Types of Engine & Outdrive Repair Office 651-455-9110 Service Dept. 651-455-9111 Store Your Boat & Trailer at TCM and Enjoy Unlimited Launches at Our Private “Members Only” Launch Ramp Visit our Website at www.twincitymarina.net CLEAN BOATING ACT CONTINUED ON PAGE 21 WABASHA MARINA & BOATYARD Located down river from Wabasha Bridge at MM 759.3 DOCKAGE AVAILABLE FOR 2008 NEW OWNERS Gary Poffenberger & Connie Wiles Full Service Marina and Ship Store 91 Octane Fuel (Diesel Available) • Easy Access Gas Dock • Transient and Overnight Dockage Water/Showers/Pumpout Station • 30/50-amp electrical service • 40-ton Travel-Lift 62,000 sq. feet Inside Locked Storage • Summer Dockage/Winter Storage Certified Technicians • Complete Mechanical Services 1009 Main St., Wabasha, MN • (651) 565-4747 wabashamarina@yahoo.com mississippi mile Red Wing’s SPEEDBOAT RENTALS Ole Miss Marina Baypoint and Colvill Parks PONTOON RENTALS SAILBOAT RENTALS Choose Your Adventure!
