Your PWC is defined under RSA 270-D:1(XI) as a
vessel, specifically:
"Vessel" means any type of watercraft used or capable of being used as a means of transportation on water, except a seaplane."
The proposed HB 162 states in part: X.(a) No person shall operate a
vessel...
(b) Where no hazard exists that requires lower speed for compliance with subparagraph (a), the speed of any vessel in excess of the limit specified in this subparagraph shall be prima facie evidence that the speed is not reasonable or prudent and that it is unlawful:
(1) 25 miles per hour during the period from 1/2 hour after sunset to 1/2 hour before sunrise; and
(2) 45 miles per hour at any other time.
The exception being operation on the ocean....
So yes, the proposed legislation does indeed include PWCs.
Hope this answered your question,
