Banning of Ballast in boats possible by 2008

I haven't checked into this so don't everyone start yelling F-words @ me! ahhaahh The guy who owns our marina told me that he was told by the CWB rep and the Tige rep he deals through that the Coast Guard and some other org are trying to ban ballast in boats in the next upcoming years b/c of so many injuries and fatalities! I don't see how they can keep it THAT enforced b/c of how many people do it. But he mentioned that they said whenever they find people who are using the ballast they will make them drain it. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm everyone's input is welcome.........


oh and one more thing........he also made a good point against this.................. Until alot of us see all of the big name pros landing crazy stuff in a bone stock boat.........everyone is going to think THEY need the weight as well.....so who knows... Let the posting begin!
