Fatalities and Manslaughters are not equivalents.

Correct.
Offshores are hidden within the Coast Guard classification "open motorboats".
Offshores comprise a proportionately very tiny percentage of New Hampshire's numbered and unnumbered boats. (For all the mayhem, that is....)
Check out page 33, though: "Accidents by Boat Length". There is a spike at 36-feet (
Littlefield-zone), and a major spike at 40-foot (to 65-foot).
Still, the only access to boating
manslaughters is through "Westlaw" subscription, (All trial attorneys use it).
Or...schlepping through the Internet....
