So the town should provide a lift for a wheelchair bound person to board a boat? Say what? Do you have a life vest that will float him and the chair????? I guess the town or state should provide that too?
It's not a town's obligation to provide a lift for someone to get into and out of a boat. That's just ridiculus to think a town should be providing something like this.

Yes, If the town is going to designate a Handicapped Docking Space on the publically owned town docks, then they need to provide a lift (a number of different types are readily available) at that space.
My nephew has a PFD so that if the boat goes down, along with his chair, he will float.
Again, yes if the town is going to specify that there is a handicapped dock then the town needs to accomidate handicapped people.
Unless of course in NH handicapped just means old with a limp.
