Just read this on the Mass Boater-Ed web site:

Be aware that New Hampshire will not accept any card or certificate issued by a Massachusetts online course provider. If you plan to boat in New Hampshire, you should be certified by New Hampshire.

That information on the Boat-Ed site is wrong.

Technically I guess you could say it's correct because is says you "should be certified by New Hampshire" not that you must be. But that is splitting hairs.

No matter what it says on Boat_Ed or anywhere else I can assure you that a NASBLA approved certificate, issued by another state, is good in New Hampshire. Several members of this forum have contacted high ranking members of the New Hampshire Marine Patrol and confirmed this beyond doubt.
