100' of frontage dictates the number of boat slips you can have, not the allowable length of your dock.
The following rules apply to larger NH lakes:
At 75 feet or greater you can have 1 finger/ 2 boat slips, and every 75' after allows an additional slip. If you use a seasonal/lift out dock you can have 40', if you go with a permanent dock you can get 30' unless you can prove shallow depths. The legal definition of a slip is 25' of dock length extending out, starting at 3' of lake depth at full lake, and 8' width.
See attached link for all the details:

These rules were the same 12 years ago when I went through permitting.
