I'm totally serious about my formula, but the exact numbers will depend on the variables. Give me the footprint of a large boat and its average speed and I'll figure out how many of my sea kayaks it equals.

Of course speed is a factor! The amount of lake that you're using in a given time period is water that another boat can't use in that same time period.
Perhaps this will help: change the word "using" to "consuming."
