So if we don't carry passengers, we don't have to register our boat!

Just to clear up any misinterpretation of the applicable statute, from the NH RSAs....the operative words being "means of transportation", not passenger or operator.....

TITLE XXII
NAVIGATION; HARBORS; COAST SURVEY
CHAPTER 270-D
BOATING AND WATER SAFETY ON NEW HAMPSHIRE PUBLIC WATERS
Section 270-D:1
270-D:1 Definitions. – In this chapter:
I. "Boat" means every description of watercraft other than seaplanes, capable of being used or used as a means of transportation on the water and which is primarily used for noncommercial purposes, or leased, rented, loaned or chartered to another for such use....

Fish, you can find your fuel, tools, parts and other supplies at Brent Hobbies on Union Avenue at Lakeport Square. He's located inside "Cash-N-Toys" in the building which once housed a hotel and theatre. It's on the same side of Union Ave as Fratello's restaurant, but across the little side street, which I believe is Clinton St. If you don't see what you're looking for, ask for Eric and he'll hook you right up. Nice guy, nice little niche for RC enthusiasts.

What type of RC boat do you have. I have a DUMAS hydro with a K&B Outboard but the lake is a bit to rough. The little thing has blown over backwards a few times when it launches off of a wave.

I am working on a Deep Vee in the hopes it will handle the waves better.
