Does that article refer to the end of two stroke powered craft period or simply the US market? The EPA laws which are causing this seem to be US standards. Seems like the Mfg's would still be able to produce and sell skis in other parts of the world which have less strick emission standards like MEXICO. I wouldn't have a problem buying my next new boat at Yamaha/Kawasaki of Tijuana!

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or sometimes USEPA) is an agency of the federal government of the United States charged with protecting human health and the environment, by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress. The EPA was proposed by President Richard Nixon and began operation on December 2, 1970, after Nixon submitted a reorganization plan to Congress and it was ratified by committee hearings in the House and Senate.[2] The agency is led by its Administrator, who is appointed by the president and approved by Congress. The current administrator is Lisa P. Jackson. The EPA is not a Cabinet department, but the administrator is normally given cabinet rank. The agency has approximately 18,000 full-time employees.[3]

From another article from the same guy:
As of January 1, 2012, federal environmental rules will ban the type of two-stroke engine that powers both the 800 SX-R and the Yamaha SuperJet. Both companies have been able to keep these “dirty” two-strokes on the market (except in California and New York) because they could average the emissions with those of their much-cleaner four-stroke models. That deal should have ended this year, but the EPA gave Yamaha and Kawasaki an extension for the stand-ups so each manufacturer would have time to develop an alternative engine.

That’s not going to happen. In 2008, I reported that combined sales of stand-up PWC were just 1,898 units, or about 3 percent of total sales. For 2010, stand-up sales will add up to less than 500 units. There’s simply not enough volume in this segment to warrant an investment in a new engine, let alone an all-new boat.
