Hi Dave, I don't want to start an argument here, but I just want to point out that the only thing that classifies a PWC as a boat is the person capacity. Any PWC that carries more than 2 people is classified as a boat, regardless of length.
For example, I currently own 2 Sea Doo PWC's. One is 121" (just over 10'), the other one is just over 130". Both carry up to 3 passengers, and both are classified as boats.
