Yup, better watch out: them beaver-teeth are sharp!

And if I was a Good Canadian, I'd be calling it a couch, anyway...

First, it's repusive to me to think a boater would even consider dumping a
sofa into the sea.

But, "dissassembling" can be fun. We were throwing out an old sofa, and we
started by throwing it off the balcony onto the back driveway. Then we
thought of taking it apart a bit so it would be easier to take to the
dump. Out came the axes, the sledgehammers, the chainsaw...we had a BALL!!
You could probably charge money: $.50 per hit or something. Then take the
pieces to the dump. Easy.

Easy...that's the West Coast talking...not the East.
We would just take a reciprocating saw to it and cleanup the mess.

The Red Green approach. I love it! And, ya never know what some of those
parts might be useful for in the future.

Would it be too intelligent to call the local office of your state's
environmental agency, and ask them?

I think the marina manger would have a problem with that

Sounds like he's a dick.

lighten it

Now you're thinking.

but I still like the over board route, much less to deal with.

Very true. Is there a public pool near by?

I wonder if it would be illegal.

My guess? Yes.
But those who make environmental laws tend to be dicks too.

Yeah, we certainly wouldn't want clean water to run our boat in and fish.

In a few years the metal frame would be gone and of course the wood and
cloth would rot as well. It is an old sleep sofa and IMO, too hard to
lug
back up the dock.

If you are really stupid and don't care about your fellow boaters
hitting
and
****ing up thier boat because you were an asshole...
NEED I SAY MORE?
Take it to a dump!

If I hook it accidently trolling and break a downrigger or rod....I'm gonna
have some very grave, unresolved issues with you.
