Too bad. Officer Westegren, and all the other MPs I've encountered have been very professional. (And should have mentioned that earlier). The law was RSA 270 E:4.
Director Barrett's letter got laminated and is now secured in the boat. When the boat gets unwrapped in April (March?  ), I'll scan it in here. It's nice to "win one"—and I'll share it.  |
270 E:4 covering vessels exempt from registration requirements went in to effect on January 1, 1991. Strange that you had never heard of it. It has been publicized in the boating guide for many years.
Nice to hear from someone who doesn't think his rights were trampled on by MP during a boat stop. It was win-win. You got an education and MP got future compliance.
