hi there,

I got an old baot in my slip and need to trash it. it is a
coronado 27
build in 1972 and has not been sailed for a long time. engine
and
outboard engine are probably not working anymore.

cannot donate since it is not worth anything.

didnt find a place that takes it yet (in the Bay Area)

Can anyone point me to a a

onmouseover="window.status='junk yard'; return true;"
onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;"junk yard/a or who or
whatever might take this
boat.

thanks,

I had this recurring nightmare with an old boat that I had once.
The
landfill wouldn't take it and I couldn't donate it. What to do
with it
when
it just wasn't worth keeping?

At the suggestion of a friend, I stuck a "For Sale" sign on it
with an
asking price of 1000 bucks. Within 2 days I "accepted" an offer
of $500
and
the happy new owner towed it away.

My friend at the boat shop once a year cleans out his yard of boats
that go over the mechanics lien time limit or boats just left in
the
yard by people who don't' want them anymore. He sells the ones
worth
money, but most of them are junk.

Anyway - and I've actually been there when this happens - he puts a
couple out by the street with FREE signs on them.

They are gone within an hour.

It's like freakin magic. :)

Later,

At Pillar Point Harbor in Calif, the put the abandoned and dead beat
slip
paying boats in "The Box". They tow them up on the beach and let the
salvagers go at them.

Oh, bull****. Anybody with any sense would know that's not true. There
are too many environmental regulations in place that would prevent a
company from doing such, let alone the fact that the boats don't belong
to them. That would be akin to me taking your boat out of your yard and
doing the same thing.
