How many take boats with them?
Just wondering how many people bring a boat along with their RV to the campgrounds?

I don't live on the shore of a great lake, but I have been in a boat out in the middle of lake Erie, watching the 500' cargo ship go by as I waited for "fish ON". I would never consider fishing in that same spot with my recreational kayak.
HOWEVER...I think it less-than-accurate to judge "what is a boat" based upon experiences on ONE shoreline. A super tanker would break apart in class 5 rapids...yet many kayakers "play" within these fast moving, volitale waters. Does this mean we should take the SHIP status away from that tanker because it can't play with the kayakers?
Care to take that 25'-35' boat into the narrow inlets that I go? You will no longer be floating, which would make you a house. I, on the other hand, will be floating in 3"-4" of water...I will still be in a boat.
I appreciate your sound advice to understand the limits of your craft. I also think consideration needs to be given for the purpose of said craft.
Stupidity doesn't determine the status of a "boat", but failing to recognize the purpose of said boat, may delare the stupidity of the boater.
