Not free enough. It's probably a negative value boat, meaning that it
will cost more to fix than it is worth. There are a lot of negative
value boats out there, but that one is particularly suspect.


You forgot to mention how much it will cost him to dispose of the boat
if he buys it and then realizes it is not worth fixing it.

It is common to see people trying to giving away boats just so they
won't have pay the trash man.

That too. I was once able to get rid of an old Hobie Cat for the
price of a cheap chain saw. We cut it up into small chunks and threw
it out with the trash over a couple of weeks. Before we moved to
Florida I tipped both of our trash pick up guys $20 each for
cheerfully carting away all of the krapp we threw out. They were
astounded. I don't think anyone had ever thanked them before, let
alone tipped them.
