Aluminum? recyclers will pay you for it.<br />Fiberglass, you pay junk haulers to haul it away.

Around here the transfer stations will take it and crush it. Our local "dump" will take them if you cut it up with a chainsaw into small pieces.

My favorite large trash disposal location is EBAY. <br /><br />List it for .01 minimum bid, no reserve, local pickup only. And honestly disclose what a total piece of junk it is. You might be STUNNED at what people are actually willing to pay YOU for this junk. I do this a LOT and have NEVER had an item not get hauled away from my house...and usually they pay me for the right to do so.<br /><br />At the very worst, you get no bids and you lose about $1 in an insertion fee....then try the other avenues listed above.

And hour or three with a Sawsall and it will be in small enough parts to put at the curb :) <br /><br />I rebuilt my whole house monster deck and all putting bundles of wood out on trash day over three years<br /><br />tommays

Around here you can donate your car or boat to charity. They will come and haul it away and they don't care what condition it's in. Come up with a reasonable (on the high side) value of the boat and deduct it from your taxes next year. You'll probably save more $$ this way than you would make by selling it. Good luck.

The IRS is changing the rules on donated vehicles. Be careful what you claim. Parking it in your driveway with a free sign won't work as those who would have interest then know something is drastically wrong with it. Put a sign on with a $150 or best offer and it will be stolen. Turn in a claim to your insurance company. You didn't hear that from me either.

Chopped up my 1972 Silverline into 6ft pieces...went to the dump...and cost me about $25 to dump it... That was the hull only...the floor and foam cost me about the same if I remember correctly.<br /><br />-JMW
