Then I'd like to compare which catagory of boat had the most violations on average per category. I'll bet dollars to donuts that performance boats had less violations on average per category, then most (if not all) other categories of watercraft.

Please publish this information when you are done. I'd like to see it even if it does not prove anything one way or the other.
