| 1182.3 | How To Dispose of a boat? | USDEV::CLEMENT | Smells like Nirvana | Tue Oct 10 1995 15:08 | 7 |
| I was checking out this boat that someone is selling that is good for
nothing. Made me wonder. How does one go about disposing of a used
boat. This one is 14' fiberglass construction. Also, what about its
good for nothing outboard that was on there also? How/where to dispose
of that...
Just curious... Mark

I don't see a smiley :-), but I assume this statement
was made in jest. Any suggestion of getting rid of something
by sinking it really rubs me the wrong way. Hell, I'm appalled
when I see someone tossing stuff from a car window and think
doesn't that person know it's 1995!
I'm sure someone will take the boat & motor. Just use
that good advertising word... FREE...
ps. I believe that FREE was what took care of the base note's boat...

You Merrimack river guys ski on the best rubbish pale around. It's easy
to get rid of the boat. Heck who'd know the difference between the boat
and the water. Leave a boat in certain sections too long and it will simply
erode away.
1) Clean it out and send it adrift at the Lowell ramp. It will fall over the
Dam crash into a thousand pieces and the fish will have food for weeks.
2) If (1) doesn;t ecologically please you then, file off all numbers and
take it to the Lowell ramp. Unhook it in the parking lot and drive
away. I'm sure in under 5 hours the folks that frequent that area
will have the tub running and will be thanking you for their new SS
minnow// even if they have to row it...
3) Park it somewhere and spray paint FREE TAKE ME! on the side.
Always happy to help a fellow boater,

.... dig a hole in the yard and set the hulk down in it. Put some
rocks around the edge and get some Goldfish. Maybe even a little
fountain.

re -1
Ya know, while I was visiting a friend in cow-hampshire the other week...
I was on his bck porch and noticed in a neighbors yard a vintage Ski-doo.
Funny, it had a few rocks around and boxes with flowers on the seats. It
was the first Ski-doo planter I had seen.
So... you could be onto something... add flowers to the rocks and you'll
have a neet planter.

| I saw a 40' chris craft taken down in two days with a chain saw,
sledgehammer, sawz-all, front end loader and a dumptruck. This was in
Salem Ma a couple of weeks ago (ss minnow bites the big one).
Check around, makes great barnfire fuel at the next high school
game, and the suckers would probably cut it up and cart it off for you.
Not so sure I'd burn hull planks with 30 years of bottom paint inside
my house....
Take the block to car junk yard for reuse.
If the hull is fibreglas, I hear they have some kind of a giant
"boat-o-matic" that grinds it up for reuse. Check with a salage
yard to see if this is true, and where they will do this.
Don't just dump it. There are enough eyesores out there from guys who
are actually "proud owners" of some of these... ;>)

I just talked to BFI and they would be happy to come pick up
a derelict fiberglass hull. The downside is that they also want about
200 bucks along with it.

| 1182.11 | Donate it... | HDECAD::PRUYN | | Fri Oct 20 1995 13:30 | 8 |
| My parents donated their boat to a local hospital for a charity
auction. The only part of any value was the trailer it sat on. You
had to take the boat to get the trailer. I wish I could tell you
how much it sold for, but I don't know. The benefit to my parents was
that it was removed from the property at no cost and they can claim
some level of charitable contribution. They're happy with the deal.
