Seeing the change in under 10'. Do they report kayak sales to the DMV?
That is one of the few catagories of boat under 10' where there would be
large numbers of sales.


I was guessing inflatables with an outboard. Most states do not
require registration for unpowered craft.


And that is the case in Washington. If you don't hang a motor on it,
you can have a 60-foot rowboat and pay no registration fees.

PWC's are included in the "under 10-foot" category, but I have no
evidence that PWC sales are up. A lot of people say, "Been there, done
that," and the glitz is now off the fad.
