Many years ago, greater Boston had the highest car theft rate and the highest car insurance rates in the country. Many people went to a NH border town and rented a mailbox and registered their car in a border town. Saved thousands per year per car. Sales tax too. NH and Mass go together and the motor vehicle laws were changed to prevent this. Trailers came under the MV laws, boats did not.
