This issue could probably be settled with a look at your deed and the town tax map. It might take some digging at the registrar of deeds, too. If there is a shared ROW, it will be shown or noted on those documents.

On the other hand, if the strip of land is indeed a communal ROW, the pontoon boat may be partially blocking it which reduces the ability of others to use it as intended. You didn't say if the boat was beached.
The boat was tied up at the dock, We tried to tell Officer Skiba that was on the deed, but he could care less, he was tired of it and he is the law. Move it or I'll tow it is what it came down too. If it was my boat, he would have towed it, and I would have sued him and the town of Alton for grand theft.
