The brand new MP-HQ building at the Glendale docks in Gilford is customer friendly for boaters who need to register their boat. It has a walk-in service window inside for MP-business. There is designated visitor vehicle parking spots for people doing business with the Marine Patrol, and you save five dollars off the registration fee compared to what you would pay at your local town hall, or marina, because there is no five dollar service fee when dealing direct with the Marine Patrol.
So, you save five dollars/registration to deal direct with the new MP-HQ, plus they are the 'authority', and know what's what if your registration has an issue such as a second hand boat that has never been registered in NH before, and you 'borrowed' that 13' sailboat from your loser, brother-in-law, down in Massachusetts, or something
!
What the Marine Patrol does not have, unfortunately, is free, high quality, courtesy, k-cup coffee in a luxurious paper cup ........ for that, you want to stop in to the Meredith Village Savings Bank, that's out front of the big Lowe's store, where it is self service, k-cup coffee in a very luxurious, paper cup.
