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. And the
harbor
district
has a perfectly legal right to do this. You do not pay your
slip
rental,
just like a mechanics lien, they own the boat. And after the
salvagers
get
through, there is very little to tow off to the landfill.
Works
well.
Asslicker is once again showing why he retains his title of King
of
the NG
idiots. Anybody with an IQ in double digits knows that a marina
can
slap a
lien on your boat if you don't pay your bills, and can end up
with
ownership
shortly thereafter.....depending on the particular state's law.
A lien can take YEARS to clear up for you to gain ownership. Okay,
now,
let's say that happens. Do you HONESTLY think that a marina, that
OWNS
that boat, will now let salvagers make money off of it, instead of
THEM
selling it to recoup their loses?????? That is just plain idiotic.
If you have a mechanics lien, it will be as little as 30 days. And
for the
harbor district to make money from a junker boat? How much labor are
they
going to have to invest? Much easier and very little money loss to
the
harbor district to have the salvagers dismantle the boat. And the
salvagers
normally as a courtesy take the remains to the landfill. Keeps good
relations with the harbor.
OH, so, now you are saying that every boat that is in that harbor, that
hasn't paid their slip fees are junk boats? No one with a boat that is
of any value is ever delinquent on their slip fees? And, again, you are
telling me that the marina would rather NOT recoup their loses????
I can not believe you are that stupid. . . The fees go unpaid for 6 months
to a year. The boat is not worth much, so how is the harbor going to recoup
some of their losses by tieing up the slip for another 6 months to a year
while trying to sell a boat for $1-2k? When the slip is worth $4-500 a
month. Look at all the sales of storage unit contents if you do not think
that not paying your rent still prevents you from losing your stuff.
