Yes, if you are going to keep the boat in NH it should have a NH boat registration. Even if you live in MA. You can use your MA address but get the NH registration.
There are rules for out-of-staters using their boats in NH.
You would be OK with a MA boat reg IF you only used the boat in NH for a few weeks of vacation or some weekends. If you keep and use it only in NH it needs a NH registration.

Sailboats and sailboards under 12 feet in length
Other small, non-motorized vessels such as canoes and kayaks
Vessels registered in other states using New Hampshire waters for 30 or fewer consecutive days
Vessels owned or operated by the U.S. government
The Certificate of Registration must be on board and available for inspection by an enforcement officer whenever the vessel is operated.
