"Council taps five marinas to collect boat regisry fees"

is the headline for a www.citizen.com, January 27 article that talks about boat registration fees and the City of Laconia.

Interesting that there's no mention about the five-dollar saving when you register with the state, either by mail or by the Glendale-Gilford Marine Patrol walk-in window.

So, the total registration fee probably doubled but now you can save 5-bucks.....what a deal! ...

The people who need hand holding makes the fees hire..

The only reason the state got out of the Navaid discussion was that the lakes where land locked.... if Winnipesaukee and the river system had lockes out to the ocean it would have been a different story....

Vermont and many other states got the same deal too.... the only places in Vermont where they have the Fed markers are on the non land locked lakes........ In short the decession was if the Coast Guard doesn't Patrol it, and can't get to it.... then state marker systems are ok.......
