    4. Nothing in this section shall be construed as prohibiting any  town
  or  county  from  continuing, adopting or enacting any other local laws,
  resolutions or ordinances related to persons operating a  vessel  within
  its  limits,  but no such municipality shall have the power to make less
  restrictive any of such provisions.
