This bone head docked there at lunch time for at least 2 hours (came in too fast and with a wake) and again came back later that night to listen to the concert (made sure he revved the engines for all to hear before leaving). Both times with no regard for the rules.
When someone complained to the traffic cop on detail, the officer went over to the empty boat, called to see if anyone was aboard, then just left without writing a ticket or warning. When questioned about the lack of action, he stated he'd keep an eye out for the owner and have a chat with him. Translation; he was not going to enforce this law and we never saw this cop again.
While I personally believe the HP slip is not warranted and should be done away with, it does seem to be the rule and all should comply. It's up to Wolfeboro to enforce or abandon this rule as selective or no enforcement only leads to misunderstanding.

Does it make a difference what type of boat this guy was driving? Would it be different if he had a 12' aluminum with a 10HP on the back?
In a strange way the length of his boat makes him more eligible for the space. If he can't park it anywhere else then isn't he eligible under the ADA to use the HP spot? Just another example why this entire "reserved for HP" thing is political correctness carried to far.
