Too cheap (and I "DO" mean cheap!) to pass up.


Nice to have the room for this fleet!


LOL!


Hah, this isn't a 'fleet' boat, guys. It's rotten. But the bow railing
is good. the dual axle Shorline trailer is in really good shape with
decent tires. And some recently new gauges. Working power trim pump,
250 cu. GM 165 hp-straight six (winterized 2 years ago) and a then
new aftermarket Alpha drive and Gimple bearing .Plus a good factory
bimini top frame assembly. No prop.


I really don't need the trailer but after salvage/scrap of the hull,
I'll probably take the trailer and make it into a flat bed to use
around the farm. Both of my brother's boats have straight 6's as
well as my nephews 74 chevy utility truck, so there's a good spare
there, and we all run mercruiser alpha's, so the drive will be in the
inventory. etc etc. besides, we're planning the big 'river cruise'
next year and the spare outdrive and gimble bearing may come in handy
when we check the integrity of the outdrives. when outfitting to go.


OR, I might install the engine and drive works on the pontoon instead
of using my spare 140.


Even though I drove 120 mi. to get it, I thought it was all worth
$250.00.


Ah! Cheap thrills!

Sounds like a winner to me, Tim. That's a good idea for the use of the trailer
too.

Yes, i could use a good farm trailer for bringing int he firewood,a nd
just general clean up... After the hull is stripped then it will be
introduced to Mr. Stihl.in which their meeting will end with great
resolve. Mr. Stihl will be championed of course.

I can't, just CAN'T believe that is economically feasible. A day and a
half at what, $200+/hr? $2400 for that measly pile of rubble?

I was wondering about that myself. I've known people however who made
quite a good living in the scrap metal business however. I think it
depends on how much non-ferrous you can extract out.

PS, Did you get the drawings and do they look OK to you?

My late former father-in-law (from marriage #1) and his brother did
very, very, very well in the scrap metal business in the midwest from
the end of WW II through their deaths. While the bulk of the business
was in scrap steel, the big money was in aluminum, copper, brass.

For many years, they made a bundle by getting permission to park their
dumpsters at stamping plants and other facilities where scrap metal was
produced. They left the dumpsters there "for free," and the companies
used them to get rid of what they didn't want. This was before recycling
at the manufacturing level came into vogue.

"Sure, we'll take those 40 tons of scrap aluminum away...no charge to
you..." :)
