That's more than twice what it costs a Mass resident ($65 total).

These are for rod and reel (ie, shore) licenses and endorsements. I don't know the boat fees. I'm pretty sure that it varies with the length of the boat.
I agree with you on the total cost Mike, but the cost for the striped bass endorsement, being a migratory fish is $30 for a Mass resident and $60 for a non-resident. I believe that differential is limited by law. Where they tack on the extra bucks is for the Mass Rod and Reel license which is $35 for a Mass resident and $100 for a noresident. I'm not sure how that number is set but it brings the total cost to what you stated.
