I did not say boats! VEHICLES! Trucks are included; I do not know about trailers.

My apologies, no-engine! Since the OP was about increased boat registration fees, I assumed the surcharge included boats too!
I have since found this in HB2 (the state budget bill);
Quote:
AMENDED ANALYSIS
This bill:
.............
106. Increases certain motor vehicle registration fees and adds a surcharge for certain motor vehicle registration fees for the biennium ending June 30, 2011 and directs the department of safety to dedicate a portion of such funds to the highway and bridge betterment account in each year of the biennium.
.............
144:244 Department of Safety; Motor Vehicle Registration Fees Increased. Amend RSA 261:141, III(g)-(o) to read as follows:
(g)(1) For all motor vehicles other than those in RSA 261:141, I:
0-3000 lbs. $31.20 ($2.60 per month) (plus a $30 surcharge)
3001-5000 lbs. $43.20 ($3.60 per month) (plus a $30 surcharge)
5001-8000 lbs. $55.20 ($4.60 per month) (plus a $45 surcharge)
8001-[73,280] 10,000 lbs. $.96 per hundred lbs. gross weight (plus a $45 surcharge)
10,001-26,000 lbs. $.96 per hundred lbs. gross weight (plus a $55 surcharge)
26,001-73,280 lbs. $.96 per hundred lbs. gross weight (plus a $75 surcharge).
(2) Any surcharge under subparagraph (1) shall be prorated accordingly in the case of registrations issued for more or less than a 12-month period.

Trailer registration fees also increased but I did not see any mention of a surcharge being applied to those registrations. So that explains that.
After I found the above, I found
HB-1588-FN to be introduced in 2010 which, according to the bill analysis, would "..... change(s) the effective date of the expiration of the motor vehicle registration fee increase and surcharge from July 1, 2011 to July 1, 2010." We'll just have to wait and see what happens to this one!
