We all know ski craft are banned from certain ponds/lakes/coves.
As I understand Section B of the RSA listed above, this access decal is not optional, but required.... if your PWC has a 3 person or more capacity and inboard waterjet powered. The NH Boat Ed booklet that I have makes no mention of this access decal being "optional". The MP officer I talked to at Irwin's Open House also was not under the impression that the access decal was optional. (I was of the optional opinion until I talked to him).
Maybe Skip can chime in here??

Hi Woodsy,
Section C indicates that you have to request an access decal. That does not make sense if this is a mandatory requirement. Section B seems to indicate that a craft meeting the qualifications described qualifies for an access decal. Simply, the whole thing does not make sense other than optional access to otherwise restricted areas.
Clearly, this could have been worded much better.
Personally, I have never seen a PWC with an access decal on the lake.
Jetskier
