I did something very similar to what you are planning. I live in NH, bought a boat from Maine (non title state) and have a mooring in Mass so the boat is registered there.

The MA registration website will tell you exactly what you need to bring which is a bill of sale and a previous registration plus a few other things not related to the ownership. As a NH resident, you do not have to pay sales tax. However, for MA to accept that, you will need a NH registration in your name. I would recommend registering the boat in NH, then sending in your NH registration and the bill of sale to MA who will register you without sales tax. You just won't ever do anything with the NH registration. When the MA registration comes, they include a title.
