detroit1 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Watching the B.a.s.s. tourney on St. Clair a few weeks back they quizzed the hosts on which state has the most registered boats. We were #1 with over 1,000,000. Geez! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User gimruis Posted August 10, 2023 Super User Share Posted August 10, 2023 I am pretty sure that Minnesota has more registered watercraft per capita than any other state. Michigan may have more registered watercraft because they also have a higher population. I believe this is also the case with Florida. It may come as a surprise that Minnesota is the state with the most boats per person, at approximately 143.6 boats per thousand people. What percentage of Minnesotans own a boat? Seven percent of Minnesotans own a boat, making it the unofficial boating capital of the United States. That's about one in every six Minnesotans owning a boat, with that number shifting to one in three as you head north of Duluth. https://www.siyachts.com/which-us-state-has-the-most-boats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way north bass guy Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Quick google search found this. Granted, it’s for all of Canada, but I’ll bet my province (Ontario), is the leader by a far margin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
