A *proper* boater education and certification course would do 10x more to fix the problems of boating on Winnipesaukee than all the regulations and new laws in the world. IMO, a big part of the problem is that people with no business operating a boat, and more money than brains feel "safe" on the lake because it's inland and relatively small (compared to most other bodies of navigable water, not necessarily surrounding lakes). There should be no such thing as a try-as-many-times-as-you-like temporary boating certificate. The NHMP should concentrate its resources on actual safety infractions, and the fines should be a loss of operating privileges for 2 weeks after a 2nd infraction (see how many people want to risk plowing through a NWZ or failing to recognize right-of-way when the penalty is basically having your usable boating season cut by 10%).
