From NH Wetlands Bureau Administrative Rules:

Env-Wt 101.09 "Boathouse" means a docking facility which has a permanent roof with or without sides covering the boat slip or slips.

Env-Wt 101.15 "Canopy" means a seasonal open structure with a flexible fabric roof not able to withstand the expected snow load and without side walls, which is erected to shelter watercraft during the boating season.

Therefore, if it has a permanent roof, it is a boathouse. From the regulatory standpoint in NH there is no such thing as a permanent canopy.

Also, please note that by definition canopies may not have sides.
