Fifty-three dollars?! Wow, that's crazy. And especially considering the high sales tax and income tax that New Hampshire has...

Live fee or die.

LIforrelaxin · 04-26-2012, 03:10 PM

I think what has gone up is the fee that some marina's and business are charging as an Agent.... I don't think either of my boat registrations went up this year...

That is a lot! I just paid $52. for a 27 foot with awhole lot more HP

FYI.....I just purchased a used jetski (1999), and was quoted $53, by my local Town Clerk for boat registration....

My 4-stroke Sea Doo PWC (155HP) is $48.50, not including agent fees.

last year i registered my 12' aluminum rowboat that i use a 28lb thrust electric motor on and it jumped from 23.00 to 46.00 in 1 year. just to putt around in the river and fish for bass. I also have to have all the safety equipment like a full size gass powered boat such as, fire extinguisher, life jackets ect... and there is no fuel onboard. takes the fun right out of having fun.

When considering the cost of owning a boat, the registration fee is still small peanuts when considered to everything else....

That is why I'm getting ride of mine. I'vew decided it is way to expensive for the amount of time I spend on it.

If I add up the cost of our two snowmobiles 3 ATV's and 2 Motorcycles it doesn't even come close to what boating costs.

I used to live on the lake, rented a room in house for awhile ,and I noticed, a lot of the people who had houses nearby, hardly ever ran their boats. They spend all kinds of money to register them, gas them up, have the marina winterize them, then launch them in the spring, service them, and detail them, and for what? So they could spend most of the summer at the dock? These were people who had money anyways, they owned those big 33' Formula with the full cabins in them and whatnot.

How about that...the same price for a non-resident fishing license.

jrc · 05-02-2012, 05:49 PM

Since the State of NH does not make a profit. Every dollar sent there goes somewhere. Spending is the issue.

Too many people say:
That cost too much, other people should pay more so I can pay less.

They should say:
What the hell is the goverment doing with my money.

No matter what the past time is some will always complain about the cost of registration, but they still plunk down the money needed to purchase the toy.
$53 equals $4.4166667 a month or $0.1452055 a day
