Default In NY, BUI as a passenger?

Here is the link from an Oswego newspaper:

http://palltimes.com/articles/2010/0...d176380654.txt

The man was too drunk to drive his boat, so his sober wife drives it. She crashes the boat (thankfully no one is killed) and he gets charged with BUI becuse he gave her directions.

Could this happen in NH?

Doesn't this really undermine the fight against drunk boaters? I mean some people will think "if I'm just as guilty driving or not, I might as well drive."
