Because WinnFABS is grass-roots funded, and NHRBA is special-interest funded?
The most frequently broken regulations are New Hampshire-only regulations! If NHRBA had funded these cushions years ago, the State could have dodged the "Education" program costs altogether.
Accepting the requirements of other states does not equate to educating boaters on New Hampshire regulations!

I'm not the lone resident around here that's wondering about it—maybe first take a look at those
particular steel pilings at the scene?

A good point—and fixable.
I'd suggest that NHRBA put industrial-strength Velcro strips on their free cushions. The Velcro mating strips could be attached to the transom of the PWC—by the dealer if necessary.
Even if the cushion got knocked off by an ejected passenger, that would an opportunity to read the regulations printed on both sides of the cushion!
