In the spring of '08 I went to Concord the register the boat and trailer. The trailer was re-plated and the registration fees was based on the sale date. The boat was also subject to the same thing I was charged for '07 and '08. When I questioned this and asked to speak to a "supervisor" it was explained to me that was the way it works. I though it was odd but if the person in charge says that's the way it's done who am I to say otherwise. I have heard others that have had the same thing happen.

Thanks for the extra detail. I still don't think you should have paid for 2007. I'm not a trouble maker, but I have found that a call to my state rep in such cases often got somebody to re-read the rule and/or there was a bill filed next year to clarify. I'd bet 50% of what the legislature does is pass bills that fix old laws that had unintended consequences. Some oif our state reps are very good at problem solving, especially the senior ones.
