In the late 1970's NH boats had those small boat license plates and there was no reciprocity agreement between Massachusetts and New Hampshire which was a money-maker for New Hampshire since boats towing their Mass registered boats to New Hampshire had to purchase a NH boat license plate in addition to their Mass hull numbers registration.

By allowing the Coast Guard to patrol Lake Winnipesaukee, the State of NH would have had to agree to reciprocity with the other 49-states and Gov Thompson probably thought that would be a money loser for NH.

So's....just don't forget to smile and wave when you go past a Coast Guard Auxiliary boat becuz u will probably be on their candid camera.

So's..... best to be polite.....and not flip them the bird or throw empty beer bottles or anything?
