Anyone Want a Big Boat Project?

Is that the Dead Boat Graveyard? And in the quiet of the night, under a full moon, a lone 2 stroke can sometimes be heard.......

Seems like the smart move would be to buy the boat, pull the engines, sell the engines, and then junk the rest of the boat.

Buying boats especially those is never a smart move.

To quote Boat Trader "....ran when parked."

The first one shown , put it on a piece of property and instant tiny house .

That boat needs a flare gun and a 5 gal gas can.

Yup. See above.

At a sale price of FREE, still a bad purchase....

Cheers

Actually, all the ones in the back, he bought if he needed a part, and later, would replace and sell the boat.

There is one thing (other than the trailers) in the back lot that has value and is restorable.

^^^ Oh man, thank you for the laugh!

Good one Byron!

Being as I can get sick just standing on a dock, the only one I'd be interested in is the one I circled in this picture.

Pick it up and it is yours.

What is it about boats. they either cost a fortune or people can't give them away.

A few years ago the guy next door sheepishly phoned and said I've bought a boat and can i park it at your place. I said certainly not and what's the story. He said he'd had a few drinks and saw an online auction about to close for a boat on a trailer for one dollar and bought it. It turned out to be the hudgest boat you could fit on a trailer and severely jaded. After a NO from me he parked it about a kilometre away at a boat launching ramp. A short while later it was surrounded by police who thought it odd and maybe a drug runners boat. I think he ended up paying dump fees on it.
