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. :)

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.
Actually they can tow your car out of your yard in some states if
the
registration is not current. Stops urban blight.
That doesn't mean they can destroy it, or allow others to destroy
it.
And the harbor district
has a perfectly legal right to do this.
Proof?
You do not pay your slip rental,
just like a mechanics lien, they own the boat.
Are you trying to say that having a lien on someone's property
means
"they own" it??????
And after the salvagers get
through, there is very little to tow off to the landfill. Works
well.
So, let me get this straight. You claim that the marina now owns
the
boat, right? But, instead of selling it and making money from it,
they
decide to let salvagers make the money????? How stupid are you,
Bill?
Look at the post from the guy trying to get rid of a Coronado 27 from
his
slip. People do not want to buy these boats, and if you tie up the
slip for
6 months trying to sell the boat for $1000 and the slip rental is
worth $500
a month, How much money has the Harbor District made?
Here's an idea. SELL it to the salvagers. You then, at the very least,
make up some of the lose you've incurred. Do you think that the marina
actually WANTS to lose money? Do you think that the C.F.O. of that
marina would say, hey, we can either lose $1000 dollars, or we can lose
$500, I think that we should lose the entire $1000????
