Default Is Laconia really boater friendly?

That can not be said about other 'border' towns around the big lake. Laconia reminds me of Rhode Island, in my opinion the most boater friendly state in the nation.
This post was from another site I frequent. It's a guy explaining one of the reasons he sold his boat:

"...The final straw was the dumb Laconia law of not being able to store a boat within sight of the road. Some old bird in the neighborhood went around and made a list of all the visible boats here. Complained to the town and they in turn gave me hassle about it. Same thing happened last year, but I pretty much ignored it. Fines were going to be issued this year though. LOL. No place here to store the boat out of sight. Too much money and paperwork to get a variance on my property to allow it. Kinda upset that I can't do with my property as I please. I mean geez, not allowed to keep my boat in the side yard??? Unreal. Anyways, it was the final straw..."

Doesn't sound very boater friendly to me if the above is accurate...
