While it is theoretically possible to be charged with operating while intoxicated with a BAC of less than .08%, convictions are extremely difficult. However, there is no difference under this statute whether you are operating a boat, ATV, snowmobile or motor vehicle.

Thanks Skip,
I'm glad you beat me to the punch because I could not have said it as nicely as you did. IMHO it's folks like "nhhick" that need to be educated in the boating laws of NH.
