Do I need to do anything except pass the written test?
Please tell me that there is more to it than I have read into this!

The answer is no to all. I've held a NH Commercial Vessel Operator's license for about 20 years. Simply contact Marine Patrol to arrange for a written test only. Once you pass you get the license that is good forever as long as you pay your $4.00 and renew every two years. I've inquired with the state as to whether I could pay once to get a lifetime license, but have never received a reply. The biggest pain in the butt is the renewal every two years - other than that it's a no-brainer.
