A vessel powered by more than 25 horsepower (other than a "ski
craft") may be operated by:
A person under 16 years of age only if he or she is accompanied by a
person 18 years old or older who has a valid Safe Boater Education
Certificate. The accompanying person is responsible for any injury or
damage caused during operation of the vessel.
A person 16 years of age or older only if he or she has obtained a Safe
Boater Education Certificate. *
I copied this directly from the boaters guide for NH.
