You can use your car handicap placard for boats.
This is Wolfeboro's Town Ordinance about the Dock:
Q. No boats, as defined in RSA 270:2, shall be docked in that area of the Town docks designed as accessible docking (handicap docking), unless such boat displays a windshield placard issued under RSA 261:88 or displays the international symbol of access. Docking spaces designed as accessible (handicap) shall be marked in accordance with the provisions of RSA 265:73-a by affixing signs to posts, docks or other areas so as to be clearly visible to anyone approaching the area by boat.
[Added 6-11-2008]
(1) The accessible (handicap) docking area shall be utilized only if a person with a disability is being transported in or is operating a boat to or from the docking area.
(2) The same time limit restrictions will apply to accessible (handicap) spaces as stated in Subsection L above.
(3) Any person convicted under this subsection shall be fined not less than $250.

E-mail Dave Owen (Town Manager)
wolftwnmgr@metrocast.net about any concerns that you have with the Town Docks and he will give you all the info that you need or will guide you in the direction that would get your answer. I would be very surprised if he didn't respond.
