Perhaps better as a question:
"What year was registration required for non-powered sailboats?"
My 1980's photos of my various Hobie 16s and 18s show no bow numbers
or registration decals—while in 1993, I was stopped for no decal on my Tornado 20 catamaran.
Since last year, I don't own any multihull sailboat.
Say, catamarans have
two hulls!
Trimaran
$ have
THREE!

When NHMP are
given resources, they go unused.

"...Short of not paying anything at all, wouldnt you rather a $5 or $10 fee on your kayak instead of a double digit increase in your powerboat and PWC registration again in a couple of years? and again in couple more years...?...a $5 or $10 fee isnt going to really be all the detrimental compared to your motorized boat registration fees doubling every 2-3 years..."

With the advent of "Express Cruisers"—and ever-larger "Mush Cruisers"—the State's "take" of net revenues should parallel boat sizes nicely—just as it has for the past two decades.

"...Requiring a NH waterway access decal would raise alot of $$$ for NHMP while minimally impacting EVERYONE who uses the water resources...and doesnt put the financial burden soley on one group...I am most certainly one of the biggest anti-spend advocates here on the board..."

Y'know, the NHMP doesn't have a helicopter!
