Washington state has banned copper paint and rumor has it California is soon to follow. I'm wondering how EPA is going to factor this into its new Clean Boating Act regulations and hopefully the paint industry can come up with a substitute. Of course this will help expand the industry of stripping our bottoms at our expense. Of course everybody knows we are all wealthy and enjoy giving our money away.
