Hi All,
I am planning a trip to Tahoe for either late June or better yet Aug. I have a couple of questions. I know that there are a few of you at this local that have helped me before. Mr. Wait G. if you are there please respond.
First: I was told that it is now verboten to use a 2 stroke engine at Tahoe. Is this true.
Second: It was suggested by a memeber of our local club that a cabin be rented to use as a base for showers etc. because slips are few and far between. Any clues on this, ie. where is a good place to get a cabin that would be close to a mooring?
I went to the link for tahoe that Latitude has and printed off a bunch of pages that I have to sift through.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.

According to the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency,

"As of Oct. 1, 2001, with the exception of direct fuel-injected, low emission two-stroke engines, all carbureted and two-stroke engines will not be allowed to operate on Lake Tahoe Regional Lakes."

Thanks Don<img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>. I agree that polution is a problem and I would hate to be part of making Lake Tahoe dirty, part of the joy of being there is looking down through the crystal clear water. But, it does make it a little harder, guess I have to convince the powers that be that a four stroke is in order.

Matt,
Possible short term solution is, use an existing electric or a small 4-stroke. My boat is smaller but when I put her in local, 4-stroke only, lakes I use my MinnKota. Not a great deal of power or speed, but I'm not concerned with tidal currents either.
