Reciprocity with New York?

jetskier · 06-27-2004, 07:46 PM

Hi all,

I have not put the jetski in the water yet, but the season is still young.

I do have a question....

My brother in law is planning to come out for the Fourth of July weekend. His
boat is registered in New York. Will New Hampshire permit use on
Winnipesaukee with a New York registration.

Thanx in advance,
Jetskier

As long as he is here only temporarily (30 days or less).

Have a great weekend and be safe!

Below is the applicable New Hampshire statute referencing your question;

TITLE XXII
NAVIGATION; HARBORS; COAST SURVEY
CHAPTER 270-E
VESSEL REGISTRATION AND NUMBERING
Section 270-E:4
270-E:4 Exemptions From Registration. – The following vessels shall be exempt from registration in this state:
I. Sailboats under 12 feet in length, rowboats and canoes powered by sail, oars, paddles, or other human power. Any vessel which has an inboard or outboard motor shall not be exempt from registration except as provided in paragraph II.
II. Vessels registered in another state or country temporarily using the waters of this state for not more than 30 consecutive days.
III. Vessels owned or operated by the United States government.

Skip gave you the low down on the boat registration. So the boat will be legal on NH waters. But if your Bro-in-law was born on or after January 1, 1973 or intends to drive youngsters on the Jet Ski then he needs to have a proper Boater Education Certificate approved by the state of NH.

Have a great 4th.
