Quick question for the group here. I have the chance to get a 1995 Trophy 19' or so footer cheap because the guy lives near Tahoe and can't use his Merc 2 stroke there anymore. He used this excuse to get his wife to agree to buying a new boat! My question here is how many lakes do any of you guys know of that the 2 strokes are banned? Also, is there any way to replace just the powerhead and convert a 2 stroke type outboard over to 4 stroke? I need to give him an answer ASAP if I want the thing but this would be my first boat so I know just about squat at this point...except not to buy Suzuki motors, saw a long thread here about that! Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

I own a two stroke in the Sacramento Area. I believe the only place where they are banned are the lakes in the Tahoe Basin.

2-strokes like the Yami HPDI, Ficht and OptiMax are legal in Cali. Iam unsure about Tahoe. They have their own deal. Check with the California Air Resources Board.<br /><br />Brian
