boat registration in Nh-1st time

jrc · 04-04-2009, 10:18 AM

I think you could get away with the ME registration if you trailer your boat. It's not hard to believe that a trailer boat is used a few different places, or brought home during the week.

It would be really tough if you keep your boat at a marina or your own dock. The MP is not going to believe that you own/rent a house/dock/mooring but you just started boating here last week.

just reg. mine for the first time today.... only $68 total... nothing bad at all... What is funny is I have to jump through hoops to get the trailer registared and will cost more then the boat.. Totally didn't see that coming.. what a pain in the a$$!

I sent my registration and check back to the state a few weeks ago, but still haven't received my stickers in the mail yet. Has anyone else noticed a long delay this year? I want to go out to the island this weekend, but it would be nice to actually have the stickers first...

I sent our boat registration renewals in last December and I think the stickers arrived in about 10 days. Sounds like it's taking much longer now.

My guess is that anything requiring state processing will be slow because of the budget crunch. Less people to work and also to "make a point" (see how tough things are!). I'm sure state worker morale is on the low side as well.

Why not just take them to a local marina or some town clerks do it. At least it's quick and some money stays local.

I sent mine in 3 weeks ago and received them back in about a week or so - which seems to be about usual.

Thanks - guess I'll just have to wait. More incentive to send them in earlier next time!
