I guess this would be a tough one since people have different opinions, but there has to be a majority out there that share some common views. With new laws coming up and with ones that should be introduced, I would think the majority of those boaters need a medium to be well informed of all issues and a medium to express their issues.

There is a non-bias non-profit organization that does work to protect the rights of boaters, promote boating safety and boater education - Lakes Region Sail & Power Squadron. http://www.lrsps.org/. It is the local division of the National United States Power Squadron http://www.usps.org/national/. LRSPS had representation at the recent HB162 in Concord. LRSPS holds Boating Safety classes; perform vessel safety checks around all of New Hampshire's lakes; hold Boat Smart classes to obtain the Boaters Certificates; provide support to local marinas; just to name a few things we do.
