Obviously the current state legislature is treating boat owners like 'trailer trash'. With the double increase in boat registration, and pending boating bills it also effect the marinas. Soon there will be fewer marinas on the lake.

There was a study in NHBusiness magazine not too long ago by UNH. There is a huge drain of mfg and high tech jobs from NH. Students from the colleges are leaving for jobs in the Sun belt. NH legislature has a failing grade as far as containing jobs within her borders. It won't be long until the job base is gone and the property owners bear the cost of running the state. Then everyone will leave and NH will become a ghost state.
