When you pay for your boat/pwc registration at the indoors walk-in window at Marine Patrol HQ, next to Gilford town docks, there is NO five dollar registration fee plus all the money goes to the state and does not get split with the town.
Plus, the M.P. usually has freebie orange stickers with very strong adhesive for name /phone number to place inside kayaks/small boats/paddleboards for identification in case it floats away in the middle of the night or something. Stickers similar to
