If the value of the boat is part of the the registration fee (and I think it is), then why are we glossing over the 20-50% increase in registration fees? The state has not raised the registration fee in about 10 years and now they are raising it all at once. So we should be thankful because NH boaters got a break…Really? A break, I think not. What do you think an average boat MSRP was 10 years ago vs. today? If part of the registration is based on the original MSRP the state has got significant increases in revenue each and every year. Every time a boater trades in their old tri-hull for a new Cobalt, the state cashes in.
