2010 Boat and Motor Totals by County

The number of boats registered in South Carolina is represented below. Registrations are listed according to the county of boat owner's residence, with out-of-state owners listed in their own group. Since boat registrations can be written throughout the calendar year, we don't have final numbers until July of the ending fiscal year. Totals below include both inactive boats and dropped to microfiche boats.
