I believe that the number of people who build boats for fun is slowly increasing.
But there are not a lot of us to begin with. I belong to a woodworkers club, and while about 20% of the members have built a boat or two, only about 5% are actively working on boats. Most of the guys and gals prefer shorter term projects that take up less space.
Look at it this way there are about a dozen magazines in our local bookstore that deal with general woodworking and only one - Wooden Boat - that deals with building wooden boats.
