In 1971, approximately 400,000 pleasure boats were registered in New York. Of these 62% were under 16 feet in length, 32% were between 16 and 26 feet, and only 6% were over 26 feet. Ten counties accounted for 60% of the New York registered boats. New York City and Long Island accounted for 35%. Boaters reported the hardest services to obtain were pumpout facilities, emergency repairs, and docking space. Of the respondents, 42% used a more distant destination facility chiefly to avoid crowding, poor facilities, or polluted waters. The biggest complaints of New York boaters were inconsiderate boaters and water skiers, crowded facilities, and polluted waters. The most important priorities for the expenditure of public monies for boating included additional launching facilities, the enactment of water pollution laws, and the education and licensing of boaters.
