New Hampshire MP does accept a Coast Guard Approved Cousre in place of their cousre, but keep in mind the Cooast Guard course usually focuses on issues related to open water boating and not lake boating (though many safety issues are the same). If you should by pass the NH test for the CG test you should at least pick up the coarse materials from NHMP and give it a good read as there are many informative issues related to the lake that a good safer boater should have knowledge of ( ie the 150 foot rule).
Actually a Coast Guard approved course is not the criteria. The criteria is a National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) approved course. There is a difference. Click HERE for the boating certificate criteria approved by NH.

The only "Coast Guard" approval accepted by NH is for an unexpired Commercial license issued by the Coast Guard, or a safe boating certificate issued by the Coast Guard Auxiliary.
