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.

They cost a fortune to buy new and a fortune to maintain, most people do not maintain, then they sit because they cost to much to repair because they were not maintained. Then disposal of what is left costs a fortunate, so they try and give them away.
