Not a good analogy. Private marinas handle virtually all recreational boat
traffic. They receive no government subsidy. Nor do they require
continous dredging. In fact, I know of two private marinas on eastern LI
that are paying for dredging and increasing dock fees.

They have the services of the Coast Guard -- search & rescue, safety
inspections, etc. For these they get a free ride, too.

Let us look at bicycles -- lots of Federal money for bike lanes, special
(mostly unused) bike access across bridges, etc.

Wilderness areas: backpackers get a HUGE free ride from the taxpayer for
the acquisition and maintenance of wilderness areas.
