What Is the Ratio of Boats to Humans? (Update: We Have an Answer!)

Brain cancer is...


...thinking about boats per capita.

We are spending our meals today pondering statistical questions about our world.  Namely, what do you suppose is the ratio of boats to people in the United States?   Some pics may suggest the inspiration for our question.

Off we go to dinner.  We'll keep you boat posted. 

If you figure it out first, let us know.


UPDATE 9/28/18  Beth found the answer!

The ratio of humans to registered boats in the United States is 27:1.  For every 27 US humans, there is 1 boat.  Phrased differently, there is 0.03 boat for every 1 human.
