The topic comes up once and a while - where do I find a cheap/free hull to restore?

I have been advertising for free/cheap boats here in Upstate NY and have more leads than I could ever handle, many of them completely free hulls. Let me know if you would like me to forward any of the pics/emails. If I took all these I would be divorced.

I live just over the boarder in Canada and am looking for a medium size boat for the lake up here. What boats are around you that need some work but are free/cheap. Thanks

Ain't nothing free about a boat... ;-0

That said, I agree on the take-it-away nature of a lot of boats up here. Gotten a few myself. Given a few away, too. If you really want a project boat, there are plenty to be had. The best ones come with proper paperwork - don't forget to ask!!

i live in that area too, just outside of malone. we are the REAL upstate... lol.


honestly, i dont see free boats here that often, people think their junk is worth more than it is. but i do see +/- $500 boats all the time. i paid $550 for my first, and $400 for the second.

Yep definitely the north country. Always said unless you can hear Sandy Cook in the morning you aren't really in Upstate New York :-D. I might have to look around at the boats up there. Would be fun to play around on the Saint Lawrence the next time I am home.
