Taking boats out of the equation, your argument boils down to this:

1. No one in Alabama died from a Cobra bite last year.

2. Someone in Alabama did die from a bee sting.

3. Therefore, bees are more venomous than Cobras.

You're twisting a key element: the reason no Alabamians died from Cobra bites is because there are no Cobras in Alabama, not because Cobras are less venomous.

Likewise, the number of accidents involving any type of boat is tied less to the type of boat, and more to the how many of that particular type of boat are on the water. Fewer boats = fewer accidents, and vice versa.
