The fee schedule posted by MAXUM along with RSA 270-A:1 is very interesting.

RSA 270-A:1 defines a houseboat as "any ship, boat, raft, float, catamaran, or marine craft of any description upon or within which are located sleeping and toilet facilities,....."

Sample registration fees for 1 year old vessels per MAXUM's post

30' House Boat OB $72.72 30' Twin Cruiser $336.48
30' House Boat IB $86.40

It appears that if you were to register your 30' boat equipped as above as a "cruiser" you would be in violation of RSA 270-A:1 as well as paying an extra $250.40 to $263.76.

It is laughable that N.H. thinks an aircraft carrier and the Q.E. II are houseboats but no more so than many of the states other misconstrued definitions of marine terminology and regulations that often increase the danger to N.H's boaters.
