2-Stroke Restrictions

[fatlazyless]

Don't the Marine Patrol's patrol boats use twin 200-hp two-strokes, so what's the deal with not allowing two-stroke outboards? Winnipesaukee is a big lake, and except for the sunny summer weekends, it is basically empty of hardly any boats for most of the time, on a year-round basis.

As I am sure you already know, 2-stroke outboards are perfectly legal. The OP is from out of state and was just asking the question, as 2-strokes are actually illegal in some states.
