I agree. That said, a good start would be to allow paid overnight stays at town docks. I spent some time on my boat in the 1000 Islands area this Summer and it was eye-opening. The port towns there do everything they can to make it boater-friendly and it was such a treat. Every town allowed limited-stay overnight docking (for a fee) and provided nice showers and bathrooms. Winnipesaukee port towns should do the same. It would help businesses, create jobs and generate revenue for the towns. It would also make for better utilization of existing facilities and likely prevent many BUI instances. Noise ordinances would be pathetically easy to enforce too, because the local PD could do so from shore. I can't think of a down side.
