I have been boarded by U.S. Coast Guard three times, in two different states, while piloting three different boats. Each boarding and inspection had nothing to do with my operation of the vessel. Everything checked out ok.
They gave me a paper documenting compliance with the rules and told me to show it if another boarding was initiated.
I wonder if NH Marine Patrol has a similar program.
About the "trolling"...
Maybe the o.p. is a troll, maybe he's not, I have no way of knowing.
I shall assume innocence and consider the possibilty that this person has had enough encounters with Marine Patrol to feel a bit unwelcome bringing his boat up here from PA. Labeling him a troll may reinforce this feeling...
