If I'm mistaken it must be CRS kickin' in.

I'm just now looking at my NH Boaters Guide (Copyright 2007) page 28 and it says children under 5 (five) years old must wear a life jacket. Wow. That's quite a descrepancy. Might be a good idea to carry your own copy of the Guide in the boat in case the MP officer hasn't read the latest issue.
I got my copy from an MP Officer last September on the Wolfeboro Dock. Just ask. NoBozo
