I never asked the question - was just doing research. It was called out that the reasoning was because of congested weekends / holidays and they want to minimize 'oversized' loads during peak times. Again, just for boats that require a permit, not a boat that has an 8' 6" beam.
Update: Thanks Outdoorsman for the link. Here it is calling out the times you are allowed and not allowed to tow and weekends / holidays = can't tow:

Hours or operations and travel restrictions.
Travel times that are permitted by the NH DOT:
Movement of over-dimensional loads shall be restricted to daylight hours. Daylight hours are considered to be the period one-half hour before sunrise and one-half hour after sunset. Permits are void during periods of slippery pavement conditions or inclement weather (e.g. fog, haze, heavy rain, freezing rain, snow) creating hazardous driving conditions. Permits are also void during weekends and the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Civil Rights Day, Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day. If a holiday falls on Sunday, the following Monday shall be also restricted as a holiday. If a holiday falls on Saturday, the previous Friday shall restricted as holiday. The permit supervisor shall further restrict movement of over-dimension vehicles as traffic volumes or highway conditions warrant such action in the interest of public safety. Although subject to requirements for permits, vehicles which are overweight only and which are operated at normal traffic speeds shall not be restricted as to time of movement.
Note: Travel through Manchester is restricted during the hours of 7 AM until 9:00 AM and 3:00 AM until 6:00 PM. Toll road requirements are the same as other highways.
