The sticker definitely visually differentiates between a ski craft and a boat that may look like a ski craft. There is no legal definition of a PWC or a jetski... There is just ski craft and boat as far as NH laws are concerned. The purpose of the sticker is to end disputes as to what is considered ski craft and what is considered a boat. We all know ski craft are banned from certain ponds/lakes/coves.

As I understand Section B of the RSA listed above, this access decal is not optional, but required.... if your PWC has a 3 person or more capacity and inboard waterjet powered. The NH Boat Ed booklet that I have makes no mention of this access decal being "optional". The MP officer I talked to at Irwin's Open House also was not under the impression that the access decal was optional. (I was of the optional opinion until I talked to him).

Maybe Skip can chime in here??
