Words of wisdom, but I'm way ahead of you on reducing my boating carbon footprint, I've gone from mooching rides on 2stroke powered boats to clean burning 4strokes.

Yes, but consider the "true" footprint involved here. That 4 stroke may burn cleaner, but it's a more complicated engine. The machining and transportation of all those components would require a lot more energy to produce.

Face it, you could be making matters worse
