Boat registration fees go all over the place, If you register at a local marina or town hall, that town gets the tax portion of the total. If you mail it in to Concord or pay at MPHQ, the state keeps the whole thing. Out of that, some goes to F & G for Search and Rescue, some goes to the Navigation Safety Fund (MP), some goes to Aquatic Invasive Species control. The list goes on.
Yes, we have many non-resident registrations. They benefit from the above, as well as not paying sales tax in their resident state.
