I need to register a new boat and I'm looking for a place somewhere between Plaistow and Seabrook... Any ideas?

Not sure about the area you are looking in, but you can definitely register at Great Bay Marine in Newington. They're just a tad further than the Fox Run Mall; phone number is 603-436-5299.

I know that in Sandown the town clerk does them. http://www.sandown.us/administration...own_clerk.html

I believe that Atkinson may do them too but it is not listed on their web page. http://www.town-atkinsonnh.com/ They did them in the past for me.

Here is Plaistow's info but I do not think they do them. http://www.plaistow.com/index.asp?Ty...1-4D0D6EFD867D}

All 3 sites have contact numbers so give them a call.

Good Luck.

I think any of the NH Dept of Motor Vehicles will do boat registrations. I've done mine at the DMV in Manchester many times.

Can't get the mooring sticker without the boat reg, and town halls and DMVs are generally open only during business hours, so i was hoping a boat dealer or other merchant nearby could do it after work.

Eventually I'll go to concord or gilford if I have to... thx for the replies

TomC:

You can do it via the phone/mail. Call the folks in Concord and they can take you through the process. That is how I handled my boat a couple years back. Then every year since then, I've got the info. via the mail each November and returned the forms to Concord. Then the sticker shows up a few weeks after that.

Good Luck.

The gun shop/taxidermy shop at the Massabesic traffic circle in Manchester does boat registrations.

Rockingham Boat in Hampstead on Rt 111.

I just returned from there and registered the new boat. They were pretty new at the process and software, but eventually got through it. They messed up the fee, and forgot to charge me the State part ($50) - only billing me the $28 town part. Not sure that they cared too much about shortchanging the State, but personal ethics prevents me from taking advantage of situations like that - plus the state would likely take it out of the clerk's pay once they found out the cash drawer was short, and she was only trying to help me out.
