You don't need a 4 stroke anywhere in California....
Don't group old 2 stroke technology with the newer 2 stroke technology.

New 2 stroke motors are just as quiet, clean burning, etc....
California allows CARB 3 rated motors on the restricted waterways and this include both 2 strokes and 4 strokes..... As long as the motor is the newer clean technology...
