boat dealer tells me in 2005 new epa standards must be meet

[my new fishmaster]

Does that mean I should sell my 25 hour 96 75hp force before then. What could I expect to sell this engine for its the force (made by mercury.) I would think they would come out with a retro fit oil injection for my engine.

What it means is he got you running scared. A little creative talking can sometimes make an imediate sale for him.<br /><br />What it means is he himself as a dealer can not sell new motors that do not meet the EPA requirements.<br /><br />What it means is run your current motor and be happy, but if, and when you go looking for a brand new motor you will have to choose a new 4 stroke or one of the few high pressure direct injection (Yamaha)2 stroke motors.

Sounds like this dealer is either ignorant or trying to sell you a new motor for no reason. Take good care of that Force, and you'll probably be running it well beyond 2005.
