New boat registrations
 

Taking a line from the Steve Martin movie(The Jerk) and phonebooks...

The new boat registrations are here, the new boat registrations are here.

Feeling like Spring already.

Really, really and what the heck color are they??? http://i56.tinypic.com/xanhhu.gif :)

It's kind of easy to figure the colors out, the state rotates the same 4 colors, green, blue, orange and red.

A little hope in these dark days of Winter Solstice
 

I love when that shows up!! Then the Laconia Tax Bill is right behind it :rolleye1: I got some info from a friend (PBFF) that it's just 152 days until I can put "The Breeze" back into her slip for the season. Woo Hoo

The Breeze
Wave 'cuz I'll be wavin' back

and hopefully those days go quickly. I look forward to ice out as soon as my boats come out of the water for hibernation.

Wow...good news.Tried to register a boat last week in Moultonborough and they said the stickers wouldn't arrive until after the1st of the year.

Not Really Good News
 

I brought a couple of NH registered watercraft to Florida for the winter. I mailed the renewals in last week as soon as they arrived. I would hate to be ready to go out on the water right after the first of the year (on an 80 degree cloudless, calm day) and have both be unregistered. Man, that would be bad!

Can I get me some sympathy here?

Green for 2015

Sympathy(?).....In Florida......For the winter.....off line I'll bet most are mumbling that you sun burn your big toe.

Kidding :)

If anything, keep copies of what ever paper work that might help you prove you have paid your renewal and the sticker is in the mail. Even showing this thread could help explain a late registration, if the officer is understanding.

Not to start a war here, even though the local gov. is in a non boating area due to its season, shouldn't they be prepared for any type of expiring registration at the time it becomes illegitimate and not when the season becomes active. Honestly I've never thought about until TiltonBB's scenario has become a real time issue. The current system may need a little tweek in order to keep the boating community legit if boating out of state.

Have fun in FL
Ps. Protect those toes.:)

The system works fine. I received my NH paperwork a couple weeks back and dropped it in the mail the next day. The sticker and registration showed up last week. No problem.

Gotcha.....

Not trying to be a jerk but why would one give your money to somebody to hold for 4 months?

Well
 

Well, you may wish to use your boat sooner.

Or, if you did the math, an average registration fee might be about $100. I would rather get it out of the way now than worry the 33 cents in interest I might get for the next four months at the 1% rate banks are paying today.

Got the boat renewal ont he 4th, stickers yesterday.

PWC renewal the 15th, dropping it in the mail today.

Still got one hanging out there... where oh where is my Sea Nymph?

Because I am a great guy.

Here we go again ??? I don't understand how some have their paperwork already and I have not seen anything in the mail as of yet. I don't get why they cannot mail the stuff to every boat owner at the same time...or am I the victim of snail mail AGAIN ???? Anyone else in the same "boat" ??

I got mine yesterday and will put it in the mail this weekend. Why? Because I want to! :)

And the gas tax rebate
 

I don't understand why you can't submit your gas tax rebate whenever you wish. They don't have to work on it until they are ready. In past years I have sent it in before the start of the new year and they have mailed it back to me with a note telling me I submitted it too early.

Maybe it is just me, but what private business would operate like this? Wouldn't it be easier, and less expensive, for the state to just put it on a shelf for later processing rather than spend the time and money for the envelope and postage to send it back?

remember this Is the STATE we are talking about

:D

I am feeling better...
 

Got mine in the mail today. Will do the Christmas bills first, boat reg next.:)

Registrations
 

We got 2 out of 3 of ours yesterday. Hopefully the last one shows up today

We are hoping ours comes in before the Christmas bills....might not be in the budget after Christmas bills! :emb:

We got all 5 of ours the same day last week for the first time in years!!! :)

Ours came in yesterday. Will get it out next week with the end of month bills.

I live in Ma and got mine 2 wks ago. I wait to I open camp in the spring to register at my marina so my fees stay local.

Boat Registrations
 

What's the rush??
Can't use them for at least 4 months.
I wish they didn't send them out until April.

Got 1 of 5 yesterday. We always register them in the spring at the marina. Gives us something to look forward to.
Only 15 weeks till April...no foolin'!

Boat Reg.
 

Got it in the mail today. I think the state needs a new printer, Very hard to read.

New Printer
 

I agree. I had to turn up the lights and break out a magnifying glass to read the numbers. I added the amounts up and sent my check in right away but if the number was wrong I am sure the renewals will get rejected.

I wonder if anyone at a state level noticed, or cared, how hard they are to read. If you get stopped on the water it will be hard for the Marine Patrol officer to read in the bright sunlight.

Gott'em all
 

Last one showed up yesterday:cool:

Christmas Ornament
 

When my sticker arrives, (hopefully any day now) it will be hung on the tree. :liplick:

Well, they just need more money. A million dollars might buy a new printer?

Registered my boat today at City Hall. Now if only the weather would warm up a bit.:eek:

Actually I am very excited as I have been out of boating for too long and I just bought a boat last week. After I registered it, I stopped in to get my bow numbers printed up at Gator Signs in Gilford. They did them while I waited and they told me that if I wanted to I could swing by with the boat in the Spring and they would put the bow numbers on for me with no extra charge.

Nice people there; very professional. Is it ice-out yet?

Nh boat registration
 

The Citizen 1/3/15 " Laconia,as one of only a handful of state approved agent locations that process boat registration" (City hall). Last year I could mail it in,Get it at the Gilford town hall or Silver Sands. Has that change?

I don't know about Gilford but I was able to do mine at Laconia City Hall. If you were able to do it last year in Gilford, I would doubt that it has changed. I'm sure someone on here will know for sure.

Winter/spring hikers should renew early. The new hike safe cards are redundant if you have valid NH boat registration. So if you are a boater and a hiker you can save the $25.

I took care of my renewal at the Dover Point DMV while renewing my license. It was fairly painless.

2015 Mooring Permits
 

While I finally received my boat registration last week .... I still have not received my mooring permit renewal notice for 2015. My recollection is that the mooring renewal typically arrived in early Dec in advance of the boat registration. I'm beginning to get concerned that I may have chucked it out thinking that it was junk mail (although I find that hard to believe). Has anyone else received their mooring renewal paperwork yet? If it doesn't arrive soon .... who would I contact about it? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

http://www.nh.gov/safety/divisions/n...rings/faq.html

The phone number is listed under one of the FAQ's. I have not received mine yet either.

Usually comes after boat registration since you need copy of your registration for the permit renewal. I haven't received mine yet either.

Finally
 

Received the Boat Registration and this years GREEN stickers yesterday

Extra tax to keep boat fee local
 

Since last year, Moultonborough has begun handling boat registrations, and with any re-registration info (eg. automobile) they send out they include this one covering the option to have them handle your boat registration:
http://www.moultonborough.org/Pages/...g/3012_001.pdf

As noted in the state RSAs (http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/...-e/270-E-5.htm), if the boat registration is processed by an agent who is not an employee of the state's department, then that agent can tack on an extra five bucks to the boat fee and keep it for their effort. Moultonborough wants to keep the boat fee local, and they want to tax you another five bucks to do it! Where is the incentive to let the town keep the money?

No extra fee in Moultonborough
 

Got boat registration a couple weeks ago. Went up to Lake to pay real estate taxes and get boat registration. Didn't charge extra fee. A lot of money went out of my hands yesterday. Went to camp to check things out and put the boat stickers right inside my door. All I have to do now is wait for spring, no worries about misplacing them. Nice day yesterday, like it cool.

Dave M

On the 14th I registered the sleds ( wishfull thinking?)

On the 15th the boat regs showed up... X3 - back in the mail on the 16th.

I hope I have gas money to pick my son up in Boston tomorrow ! LOL
