Here it is! Boat Registration Proposed Legislation

I may get bashed for this one, but I have been thinking about it for awhile now. We all know that most people who fish pay for a fishing license.

BUT, in the winter time a lot of them put "bobhouses" on all the lakes in NH. Moral is, not all but most do leave quite a mess (trash, cans, furniture) and once the thaw comes it becomes harder to remove the items. Some just don't care and let it all sink w/ the thaw.

So how about a "bobhouse" registration valid for 4 months out of the year? If not registered, or unable to show proof of registation, then they are fined.

Most of us need a boating license and most boats need to be registered.

Okay, go ahead.......

I for one, agree with you. I am not going to bash you. User fees. They use the lake, why not? We used to do that some and it is great fun. The only problem I have is why they have such out of control spending and think of thousands of ways to tax. I think that every new tax that is implemented must replace another one that can never be reinstitued.. Stop spending for God's sake. The problem is , everyone has their own special pet project and they want it.
