My scientific survey (with a sample size of three boats) Say that letter part of the hull number increments about every year. My samples are:

2002 NH XXXX BH
2005 NH XXXX BK
2008 NH XXXX BN

Working backwards, 1994 should have been the last year for boats without a "B''.

1994 NH XXXX AZ
1995 NH XXXX BA

So Capt Boneheads have "B" in their registration number because most of the boats on the lake have a "B" How many 15+ year old boats are there, 10%- 20%, I can only guess.
