Chaselady...

Boat registrations are like car registrations.... you can go anywhere in the US with them.... that being said, you have to obey all local laws and regulations. Not sure about CT, but if you want to boat on Lake George you have to buy a "Park Sticker" and register with LGPC for the duration of your stay. There is no 150' rule (boat to boat) and that can be a little unsettling for some.

CT requires CT residents to have a safe boaters cert, and they have reprocity with NH. They do not require out of state residents to have a SBC. If you are operating a PWC the rules are somewhat different. To operate a personal watercraft in Connecticut you must obtain a Certificate of Personal Watercraft Operation, regardless of residency. There is no 150' rule in CT.
