I don't have a RIGHT to boat. I DO have a RIGHT to my home. My rights to property and to be safe and secure in my home are basic in the Constitution.

Rights to land ownership are NOT constitutional as eminent domain is a state by state issue. The Supreme Court recently affirmed this in a case about New London, CT. The state and its people could very well deem your land better servers as a park or as a location for a factory and move you out as long as state law permits it.
Boating, like driving, is also considered a privilege.
