Registration Error Question

[XCR-700]

Does anyone know if this registration error is worth correcting, my HP is listed at 415 when it should be 380.

Does this make any difference to anyone?

Do they charge more for higher horsepower?

I have tried repeatedly to call the State Division of Motor Vehicle Registration and is seems virtually impossible to speak to a live body. Today I was #20 in line and after 1/2 hour I only reached #17,,,

I know they are busy folks, but no one can wait hours to ask a simple question.

Thanks

Mixed answer, it depends. Fee schedule can be found here:

http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/html/v/72-a/72-a-mrg.htm

The HP only becomes a factor if the engine is an outboard. Otherwise the fee schedule appears to be mainly based on length. You probably should get it adjusted so it is accurate.

Looks like the total is made up of 2 fees, a "boat fee" and a "registration fee"

Are we supposed to feel like its not too bad because we are paying 2 different fees, not just one registration ;-)

Thanks, I will probably try to get it corrected.

I only need 35 HP to make it correct, wonder if they offer a marine programmer.

Send a letter to the DMV with a copy of your registration and a copy of whatever proves 380 vs 415. Then, forget it. You've done your part. My guess is, if you renew in person next year, whoever the clerk is can make corrections.

I have a new question, I registered both my boat and Jet ski, I received both back with decals, but now can't find the decals , I have the registrations but no decals.looking for answer to my problem.

Same as the above. Explain and send a letter to the DMV with a copy of your registration.

You'll be charged a nominal fee for the new decals and for their trouble. :rolleye1: The original decals will show up about the same time the new decals arrive. :rolleye2:

Suggestion: Your boat is now legally registered, however you simply lost the decals.

With that said, I would make a written request, and send it via USPS Express Overnight Mail. RETAIN COPIES OF YOUR REQUEST PLUS MAILING & TRACKING RECEIPTS. Mail it tomorrow 5/18, and they will have it Wednesday 5/19.

Go about your boating business as normal, and be sure to have a copy of your registration as well as copies of your paperwork and mailing receipt that proves that you have requested duplicate decals. Keep this paperwork on your person while operating the vessel.

If stopped by the MP (which I think is highly unlikely) you will have evidentiary proof that you have requested duplicate decals. REMEMBER, their computer check will already tell them that your boat has been legally registered for 2021.

Prior to worrying to much about the Memorial Day Weekend keep in mind that you may receive those duplicate decals next week (so why worry at this point).

Call and ask. 293-2037.

[Nauset]

Does anyone know if this registration error is worth correcting, my HP is listed at 415 when it should be 380.

Does this make any difference to anyone?

Do they charge more for higher horsepower?

I have tried repeatedly to call the State Division of Motor Vehicle Registration and is seems virtually impossible to speak to a live body. Today I was #20 in line and after 1/2 hour I only reached #17,,,

I know they are busy folks, but no one can wait hours to ask a simple question.

Thanks


I had an error on mine a few years back where the color was listed as black instead of blue. I just put a note in with my renewal the following year and mailed it to the RMV. It was corrected when I got my new registration back.
