In my case, that means Gilford gets $$ to support things like the Glendale facilities. This includes docks, mail boxes, UPS/Fedex service, public restrooms, launch ramp, Lake Hosts, and dock masters. The extra $5 is worth it. And Lyons Den. Not free, but definitely worth it.
I don't think I have every sent my registration in, I only once went to the DMV for a boat registration, and that was because my father died and I had to get his name off of the registration.

I go to trexlers every year, and register my boats..... I began taping the renewals to the inside of the cabinet door so I know where they are in the spring... because I got tired of getting the hairy eyeball from Denise when I would show up with last years registration.... (joking, she has always been very pleasant, it just easier all around when you have the renewal...)

That way I don't have to worry about 2 things:
1. forgetting where the darn stickers are in the spring
2. having to remember to stop in concord on my way up to put the boats in the water....
