Perhaps I don't recall the conversation correctly, but you may want to confirm that with the EPA if you plan on documenting in America. Let us know what you find out.

That is an important point and I would think one could no longer import a non compliant engine in the US.
Flip side is that there are mechanical engines in the US that one could use if one could not find a Gardner in the US. In any case, I might be insane enough to want a boat but I don't think I am so totally insane to try to build my own boat in the back yard.
