Thanks for some reason the link was not working for me. I did google it and found it.
There is so many different ways to look at this date however. For example: "according to the U.S. Coast Guard, which defines such incidents as those incurring $2,000 or more in damage, when there has been an injury that requires care beyond first aid, or when there has been an death or a disappearance leading to a presumption of drowning."
Since boats are getting more expensive it also stands to reason that they are more expensive to fix. 2000 dollars does not get you very far for repairs these days...
It also lists the most common causes for accidents as " such as inexperience, inattention and excessive speed". Is that the order that they are most caused? Was inexperience the largest cause of accidents?
