Outboard Restrictions - Clear Lake, Ca - Question ????
Does anybody know if there are specific restrictiopns against 2 stroke
outboards on Clear Lake, Ca? I have a 50HP Force 2stroke circa 1984 or so. I was thinking about picking up a 16' Waco Aluminum to get into some of the backwaters on the Colorado River, and also serve double duty to fish the All Aluminum Classics with the American Bass Association. One of the aluminum classics is held on Clear Lake, California. I know I can't register a new boat in California with an old 2 stroke, but will they allow my Arizona registered boat with 2-stroke on Clear Lake? -- Bob La Londe Yuma, Az http://www.YumaBassMan.com Promote Your Fishing, Boating, or Guide Site for Free Simply add it to our index page.

The 2 stroke restrictions are only on a few water supply lakes. Clear Lake
would cause an immense uprising. Lots of older boats there. Bill "Bob La Londe" wrote in message ...

I still believe there are a few high mountain lakes like Lake Tahoe with
this regulation. You can not buy a new carbureted 2 stroke under ~100hp in CA. -- Bill Kiene "Bob La Londe" wrote in message ...

And while I'm not sure if you can register a new boat in Ca with a 2 stroke, I've been told dealers are not legally able sell a 2 stroke in the state any more. My 750# aluminum boat sports a 380#, 75hp 4 stroke Merc outboard. Real big and sits low in water in back. Looked at lots of used boats with 2 strokes before I decided on a new boat with a 4 stroke that has a 3 star rating. Drives me nuts how all the different water agencys can make up the rules as it goes along. Here's a list of 2 stroke/MTBE/pwc restrictions in Ca: http://dbw.ca.gov/MTBEList.htm -Phish |

What defines the aluminum boat? Could not see any rules on the American
Bass site. "Bob La Londe" wrote in message ... Does anybody know if there are specific restrictiopns against 2 stroke outboards on Clear Lake, Ca? I have a 50HP Force 2stroke circa 1984 or so.

As I understand it, basically any aluminum craft that has a livewell. Your
jet boat should be just fine. I vaguely heard that they may have discontinued the Aluminum Boat Only tournaments due to low participation. Next time I see Dave Willhide (local region director) I will ask him about it. In the past he told me I could fish the Aluminum Classic out of Fisher's Landing in my canoe if I had a large ice chest with a recirculating aeration pump setup. -- Bob La Londe Yuma, Az http://www.YumaBassMan.com Promote Your Fishing, Boating, or Guide Site for Free Simply add it to our index page.
