Getting Started With what to do with an old boat | Blog entry by Ernie Mawby

Marinas have boats that are no longer used. If that sounds familiar, this overview of what to do with an old boat is a good place to start.

A donation can be an option, although many programs want boats with clean titles. Ask for tax rules in advance.

Boats that is beyond repair, specialized hauling is usually the most practical answer. Professionals manages hauling and responsible breakdown.

Begin by assessing the state of the boat. Can it run? Vessels that still run may be simpler to remove than a boat that is falling apart.

Things to remember:

Look up local rules for vessel disposal.

Ask whether the quote includes loading.

Sell usable parts individually.

Trailers add an extra factor to think about. Some removal crews take both at once, but others handle just one. Confirm first.

Picking a hauler? Ask about insurance, whether they take all sizes, and how they dispose of the boat. A few calls go a long way.
