Free towing service packages becoming a boat-sales staple
Article Abstract:
Towing service membership is seen to become standard in new-boat sales in the near future because the concept is becoming increasingly popular with boat makers, boat dealers, boaters and towing firms. Towing service membership is being marketed by boat makers as a value-added service in order to make no impression that problems in new boats are common. Providing towing service membership in new-boat sales is a means of assuring satisfaction after the sale, according to Nick Miller, vice president of marketing at American Marine Holdings of Florida, the maker of Pro-Line and Donzi vessels.

Engine bans remain hot California issue
Article Abstract:
The zero-emissions measure that will eventually prohibit gasoline engines from Northern California's San Pablo Reservoir beginning in 2002 is still a popular issue in California. The measure was passed in March 1998 by the Northern California East Bay Municipal Utility District. But industry lobbyists insisted that the measure would be insignificant in the future as cleaner-burning outboards are being launched by a majority of outboard makers. The issue focuses on methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), a gasoline additive that was said to cause gasoline storage tank leakage.
