I'll vouch for my good friend Nightwing, he is correct in his post.

Paddles (alternate propulsion source) are only required on Type A and Type I commercial boats when operating on the big Lake. Type A is a commercial motorboat less than 16 foot and Type I is a commercial boat between 16 and 26 foot.

It is very difficult keeping track of the various differences in boating laws from State to State, even here in New England.

And has been previously stated by others, I never leave the dock without a good paddle or two aboard, regardless of the regulations in effect here in the Granite State!
