Not sure if State Marine Patrol has the same enabling legislation as NH F&G...
But generally, a 17' craft would need to be registered, and thus the cost would be absorbed like a snowmobile or OHRV rescue. All three of the registration formats having a charge on them to support the majority of the funding from the F&G SAR.
