Who should operate the boat: Kids or parents?
Browsing through the Internet, I found this question at http://www.boatcop.com/. (But don't go there unless you want to suffer a record number of pop-ups).

Based on what I've seen here, New Hampshire's answer would be "yes". Anything explicit in the law on this? .

It seems to me that if a child is not old enough to operate a boat under the current NH law then they can not operate the boat regardless of the parent being snockered.
With all the threads regarding carelessness of boaters & not knowing the boating regulations, a child operating a boat could be very dangerous & inviting serious trouble. The parents must be more responsible & not put their child in that difficult situation to begin with. Would you want children operating cars if the operator was snockered? |

They might not get the snockered parent for BWI, but certainly they could charge him/her with Child Endangerment, and perhaps Reckless Operation, too bad they just can't charge them with gross stupidity.... LOL!

When we lived in Bossier City LA, we had a good friend who was a cop. He always said that there is one law needed to be on the books in every jurisdiction: Aggravated Ignorance--- He said there were violations every single day, and the city could have been tax free if he could have written the tickets. Now what a way for the Marine Patrol to fund their operation...
