I would agree with this one. We've averaged ~50 hrs per season for as long as we've owned the boat.

It makes sense that those without waterfront would be on their boats more. While both groups may want to spend the whole day on the lake, the waterfront owners an easier time docking and spending time in shore, not to mention the days when they just don't go out at all when they might if it was the only option.
