Where do I dump an old boat hull in California

[dlogvine]

I am looking to buy an old 76 Hawaiian tri hull boat cheap. The hull and insides are trashed so there is no way I am going to restore it. I'm planning to take a trailer with the engine and maybe some other parts that are worth stripping and dump the hull. The question is where can I get rid of it. I will give it for free if anyone needs it or donate it or dump it on a bot junk yard, just need to find one. Any help is much appreciated, since I have no desire to tow the hull from Ventura California to Phoenix Arizona. Thank you.
Also I wonder if two people could lift a 4 cyl engine into the truck or do we need an engine lift.

Your best bet is probably going to be a landfill, most of them around the country will take them for a small fee.

My landfill wants $75. to junk a boat. You need to remove any hazardous materials like gas and oil, and bring proof of ownership. They will pull it off the trailer for you. -Tom.

I am lucky where I live, we can dispose of one boat a month for free, the last 2 boats I junked I cut up and threw them in the back of the truck and took then to the transfer station.

Nice, will see how much does the landfill in CA charges for the dump

as for lifting the engine, it depends on the two guys... two scrawny little twigs... uh no... two 6' corn fed country boys, yeah probably... me and 3 buddies once carried a '68 caddillac 472 and a few other odds n ends on a hood 150' for an all you can carry sale at a junkyard... Me and another buddy picked up complete chevy 350's and put em on engine stands multiple times...... of course this was nearly 20 years ago..... no flippin way I'd try such foolishness today since my back is pretty beat from doing those stupid things back in the day.

Lol I think me and my buddy could lift this dam thing, we are not really a couple of shrinking petunias, will have to use some lifting straps though

If you have access to a dumpster and the means to cut it up in small sections, you're are good to go.

This guy claimed $20.00 in 2013,

I was able to take my hull to the Brea dump in the OC. They just made sure there was nothing in the fuel tanks, or oil in the boat. Dude on the tractor put a chain around the transom and drug the sum ***** off the trailer... all for $20.00

An 8' 4x4 chained to the motor in the middle... One guy on each end with a shoulder under the 4x4.... Working together very carefully.....

Lets stay on topic about an unwanted boat disposal

Be mindful of the oil pan on that engine as you wrestle it around. Those things are pricy.

Where to dispose of a boat in CA? Nevada ...

Not seeing the actual boat/hull, I have no idea what you're trying to dispose of. If it is repairable, why not set it out by the road with a sign on it for "free". Or if you want it gone overnight, put a for sell sign on it and somebody will steal it... :facepalm:

I am looking at 76 Hawaiian tri hall from boat Angels. I was thinking about taking the trailer and stripping the rest, but I don't want to drag the hull all the way from Ventura California to Phoenix Arizona. So I was thinking about loading the engine and the outboard and a couple of the other pieces into my truck and dumping the hull somewhere on the way, don't think this hull is worth the gas I would use on pulling it. The hull is in ok shape but the upholstery and carpet is dead and will cost more to fix than the boat is worth

Yes that may be according to your wants and money, but you never know who would love to take it off your hands and rework it. Some folks like doing such things and that is their hobby... :noidea:

Just dump it on the 10 Fwy like everyone else does.
