Default Trailer Registration?

Feedback to the Forum......

Went to Town Hall today to do 3 things:
1. Register Boat Trailer
2. Estatblish Residency in Town/NH - Had to fill-out a form for this
3. Register as a Voter - Filled out a form, and showed Passport for Identification

Boat Registration was a little different and did not go smoothly....
Presented Bill of Sale, Current Mass. Registraion

Was asked what trailer GVW was, and indicated 2950 lbs. THis is specified on my Mass Reg. Town Hall office worker then went on Internet, and apparently they have communication to Mass. RMV, and looked up my trailer Registration and found that previous owner, based upon the VIN#. The trailer was actually registered to previous owner, as being 3685 lbs GVW. I was shocked, and somewhat embarrassed.....

Anyway, they provided me a 'Verification of Vehicle Identification' form, which must be completed and returned. When they have this, they can issue the trailer plate. Has to be filled out either by an NH Inspection Station, Auto Dealer, or Police Dept. This may have to wait another month, as boat/triler are in Mass., and I have no place to currently store at NH property location.

BTW, cost to register boat and get new plate in NH will be about $60.
Town will get $11.50
State of NH will get: $49.33
Total: $60.83
Where they came up with these odd amounts was not given?

BTW, my Mass. Trailer Registration is $60. If I do the math, Looks like I'll pay
.83 cents more in N.H. ! Go figure that one ?

Will keep all updated on how things progress.

Thanks,
BD
