A New Hampshire Representative, paid $100 a year to represent his constituents, revised NH law to make 3-seaters "a boat". Fewer stringent NH regulations apply to them today.

That Representative also SOLD them, is since deceased, but his "legacy" lives on in New Hampshire law.

The only other alternative reference to PWCs is to the State of Hawaii, whose laws group PWCs as "THRILL CRAFT".

There may be other states that treat PWCs differently.

Powerboats NOT being factory-equipped with normal navlights may be explained by this regrettable night-use PWC behavior.
