Seems it can be, unless you have a PWC spec.

brt-int, seems to me the bilge pump wouldn't last very long with the size battery thats in a PWC. I don't even trust the battery in my boat to handle a lot of water(like this year). I have a electric(house) monitor charging system attached. When battery gets low, it cranks up the charging.

I think there is actually a boat designation on the registration. If I recall anything over 10' and over 25HP and carries 3 or more people in NH is classified as a boat. So they can certainly use their 13' rule, but my 10'3" 110HP SeaDoos are registered as boats and so they couldn't turn me away.
