Sure does Pineedles! I guarantee there will be a charge for this registration next year. The first year is free because they want your name, then your on "the list"!

Hopefully, one of the legislators will sponsor an amendment to this new rule or law or whatever that requires all rafts to blend historically with the natural waterfront. By that I mean; encourage natural construction like wood boards and natural colors like brown, grey, beige that blend. Those bright yellow/blue giant trampolene rafts should be banned, outlawed, fined, and replaced with more natural looking rafts historically similar to what Amos Winnipesaukee had for a raft, back in 1888.

And for the next step, maybe impose a Vermont style sign law all across New Hampshire that eliminates all billboards and signs except for those smallish Vermont style signs! And then next maybe totally eliminate the name New Hampshire and start calling this state Vermont-East.....or New Vermont.....yeah....New Vermont sounds better.

Welcome to New Vermont.....Live Free and paint your raft a natural taupe color.......yeee-haw! New Vermont is definately way better than Massachusetts-North.....don't ya know! Maybe, Maine-West?

Sounds like next years new revenue stream for the Marine Patrol. I agree with some...those large yellow blow up rafts are very unsightly. I would not ant to look at one all season if my neighbor wanted to put one out. I wil be very interested in what you find out, as I searched the Marine Patrol database and found nothing this afternoon. So much for letting people know. Must be short of people....... Oh, maybe we can file for stimulus money!

This happened a few years ago and was rescinded by the legislature, don't tell me it's back again.
