As Broadhopper indicated, this was discussed in another thread, but to sumrise:

Aircraft taking off or landing on a body of water in New Hampshire are exempt from any boating laws that would prevent them from doing so in a safe manner.

They are exempted by several State statutes, not because of the FAA.

When aircraft are on the waters other than taking off or landing, they are considered vessels and must abide by the applicable NH boating regulations (no wake/speed zones, mooring requirements, etc.)

Bottom line, if a speed limit is enacted in NH it will not apply to aircraft taking off or landing.

Hope this helped,

Merry Christmas,
