Well that doesn't surprise me, it's funny out east here we don't have those at hardly any pumps. (The vapor recovery handles).
Is that a national or CA rule only?

We dont even have those vapor recovery nozzles at the regular gas stations. I was in shock when I moved out here, no smog checks etc......

Pantera's unique business practices doomed them regardless of where the economy or industry went.

I just don't think that is even remotely possible now, what is the cost of even a complete 496/Bravo setup new, must be 25k or more? Plus all the rigging etc I bet you would spend 50k on strictly materials, no labor or overhead, on a single 25-30 foot boat.

Instead of writing all this out ------ read away and watch the videos. All EPA regulations USA all states. It s has been effective now for a couple at the very least.
