That sounds way low to me. The real number is probably between 50 and
100 hours/year, and those are just engine hours, not total usage.

Yes, I was guessing I must do at least 100 hours underway, maybe 200
or 300 if I'm daysailing a lot. Of course I also have a dinghy and a
kayak which probably only get a few dozen hours, but are probably more
dangerous. My brother (on a small lake) has a fishing boat which gets
a fair amount of use (though underway hours might be low), a small
sailboat which only gets a few hours, and two canoes that probably
only get used once or twice a year.

On the other hand, I don't think any of these boats are actually
registered with any state.
