I came across this document a while back and found it very enlightening!

Specifically pages 38 (July) & 39!

Nice post. I was suprised at most of the results. Some of the graphs were expected. I would have thought alcohol would have played a much bigger result in many of the incidents. Also, the amount of experience and age of the operator were suprising.

So I gather we should stay away from gas powered prop boats ~25 foot long that have males over 51 years driving, over 100 hours experience or have been drinking.
That is about half of the boats out there!!!
