I did some searches for related news articles and there are a ton of them over the last few days. All stating the questionable statistics.

I had to read twice to understand this was affecting engines UNDER 25 HP as I first thought it would affect engines over 25 HP. I have not found a minium HP stated anywhere. My weed-eater is a 1/4 HP...

When they passed the law a few years ago that caused PWCs to go from 2-stroke to 4-stroke there was a minimum horsepower that was not affected. Which meant that a small 5 HP engines could remain 2-stroke. That seemed reasonable.

Do boats not have catalytic converters now? Probably a stupid question, but I'm not an expert on the matter and would have thought 4-stroke engines had them like cars already do.

I did find an article that suggests that catalytic converters is how this regulation will be complied with. See below...
