Hi Omovex!

I located a publication that might be of your interest.

Boating Registration Statistics ? Data Tables 
United States - 2002

Description:

This is a detailed, state-by-state analysis of boating registrations
by boat segments, size, power and hull material. Regional summaries
include population, income, shoreline and inland water data. It is
available as a 66-page hard-copy report or electronically via E-mail
as an Excel spreadsheet.

The price of this publication is $150

Would information on how to order this report be a satisfactory answer
to your question?

Thanks,
Bobbie7

No. Basicly you are telling me where to go to do my own research. If I
need to go to that source and pay $150 for the info, I would value
your tip at about $25. If someone else has put all this into a report
then the info is out there somewhere. That's what I'm willing to pay
$100 for.
