The top five states for registered boats were Florida, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio and California, with the Great Lakes region accounting for 34.1% of all state boat registration, followed by the South Atlantic at 17.7% and Gulf Coast at 10.6%. Of all boats registered, 91.7% were powerboats and a whopping 95% were under 26 feet in length.
