Default Anyone know how to get rid of a boat?

I know this is a little of topic, But one of the guys I work with is going to give me a nice boat trailer to convert to an atv trailer, The problem is there is a boat on it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I have to take the whole thing or nothing. The boat is a fiberglass 19 ft ski(i think) boat, and has no motor and the inside is trashed. I called a harbor to see what they said, and he said I had to order a recycle container and CUT up the boat myself and send it back in the container! There has to be a better way to get rid of a boat!

Any suggestions? Do landfills usually take items that big?

well, find a big river, take out any registration on the boat, and any evidence of who owned it, and just let her go. right near a dam is even better. or, u just bring it to the dump, if they will take it.

Ive had several people say that, just let it float away, I just am not like that. I hate when I see people dumping stuff like that. There has to be something, or some place I can drop it off at. I looked up recycling, and donation, They will come get it for free but you have to give them the trailer too [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

As for letting the kids play in it, I think the people that live in my subdivision would not be to happy about a half trashed boat in my yard. lol

Put the damn thing on eBay. Talk up what an awesome "vintage" boat it is and some idiot will probably give you a couple hundred for it.

any town dump should take it youll have to pay per pound though. it cost me $85 to get rid of a 19ft bowrider. any marina is going to want $250.
