I saw a blurb on the 6:00 news this evening that boater registrations are down 20%, I don't recall if it was just in MA or Nationally. The news piece was focused on fewer boats expected at the Boston fireworks later tonight. then they morphed the story into gas prices, the economy and a drop in new boat registrations. I got the impression they meant nationally. If that's the case, NHMP will feel the pinch in funding, absolutely the perfect time to enact a useless law when they will already be stretched.
