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,
a

onmouseover="window.status='a

onmouseover="window.status='make up'; return true;"
onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;"make up/a'; return true;"
onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;"make up/a 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????


Not enough profit in the boat to also have to pay for it. The
Sacramento
Delta is littered with abandoned boats. Some are even large
barges.
Enviromental disasters waiting. The Counties spend millions
trying
to get
rid of them. So you think they are going to tie up a $500 /
month
slip for
2 months on the bet that the boat might be sold for $1000? I can
see
why
you are not wealthy.

And I can see why you are a handy man.


And a really good handyman. And not broke.

There's a lot of people in this country who aren't "broke". Now, how do
you know that I'm "not wealthy", Bill? Please, tell the group what you
know of my income, investments, stocks, retirement portfolios, etc.
