Correct me if I'm wrong (and I may very well be on this point), but isn't the whole rub about Concord wanting you to register there just about stripping towns of the agent fee and putting that money into some state general bucket? I believe that registering in Concord has no direct impact on the Marine Patrol budget, it just takes money out of the towns. It's a classic money-grab by the State.
Personally, I register our boat with the Gilford Town Clerk. It keeps the money out of Concord and puts it into a town that provides direct services to boaters and island property owners (e.g. the town docks, trash collection, Gilford Fire boat, etc...). That's win-win to me.
