摘要：	A study to determine the economic impact of recreational boating in New York was conducted at Cornell University in 2003-2004 under funding from New York Sea Grant. The primary purpose of the study was to estimate the annual expenditures of New Yorks recreational boaters and the economic impacts of these expenditures statewide and regionally. A sample of 6,000 boat owners was chosen from a listing of all boats registered for pleasure use in New York State in 2003. A mail questionnaire was sent to the sample in January, 2004. The questionnaire asked about trip and non-trip related boating expenditures in 2003. It also asked about boating activity, interests of boaters, and topics of concern to boaters. Of the 6,000 questionnaires mailed, 2,283 completed questionnaires were returned for a useable response rate of 40%. A nonrespondent telephone follow-up survey showed that nonrespondents had fewer boats registered in their name compared to respondents, and downstate nonrespondents were less likely than respondents to have boated in 2003. Adjustments to the respondent data set were made to account for these differences and reported numbers are considered to be as representative as possible of New York State registered recreational boaters.
