I'll see your list and raise you mine:

Kayaks:

1. Dagger river runner of unknown parentage;
2. Perception Pirouette;
3. Dagger RPM Max.

Canoes:

Grumman 15' Aluminum of ancient manufacture

Sea Kayaks:

1. Nimbus Telkwa HV;
2. Nimbus Solander (wife's ride);
3. Mariner Escape;
4. Mariner Express;
5. Mariner Coaster;
6. Loon 111 (presently at daughter's as it's the only kayak her husky will
go out in).

Dinghies:

1. Inflatable Achilles Sportboat;
2. 8 foot Montgomery (or knockoff of a Montgomery);

Power Boats:

1. 25-foot Carver Santa Cruz named "Ad Hoc";
2. 3-seat SeaDoo jet ski;
3. Standup jet ski.

Sailboats:

1. Dawson 26 named "Yeraz" (means "Dream" in Romanian... honest);
2. West Wight Potter 15.

I am not sure if I've counted them all. Do sailboards count? How about towed
doughnut floats?

Do I win?
