I might be way off in this estimation because we are a huge association and I do not see everyone, but I would guess maybe 5% of our guys use the raft for high school games, and some of them are very good umpires.
Once summer ball comes around, I bet another 10% go to the raft to beat the heat.
I started with one, but switched in my second year and never looked back.
