From the State of New Hampshire: Commercial Vessel:All commercial boats must be commercially registered and inspected by the State of New Hampshire in compliance with RSA 270-E: 22. Any boat used as a common carrier of passengers or property; operating on a regular schedule. Any vessel propelled by electric or mechanical power carrying passengers for hire.

There are many ways that this could be a problem. Operating on a regular schedule? What if there is no schedule?

Carrying passengers for hire? OK, so You get your boat inspected, that should be easy. You get a NH Commercial Boat Operator's License, and you register your boat to your LLC. Charge your friends $5 for a ride!

Poof: You can raft!
