I think you should mention to the Marine Patrol the negative effect this has had on your time here. I get the need for enforcement but we don't need to be alienating visitors either.
Maybe the Marine Patrol should consider issuing some type of NH compliance sticker that indicates the boat docs have been checked and are OK?
Better luck this year.

Thanks for the response. I did not receive a fine for anything, just nonsense type stuff. Checking registration, boaters safety card, asked to see a personal flotation device. After about the 5th time it was just plain ridiculous and felt harassed. We were literally followed one time from the docks in Meredith back to Paugus bay and right to our slip one time.
