Scrapping a boat.

[bazza white]

What options do we have for scrapping a boat. It's GRP so sailing it out and burning it isn't an option

[Piersman2]

Why ever not!

It was my first thought.

Offer it up for free on gumtree/craigslist/facebook?

Sure someone will pick it up and take it off your hands

[DuraAce]

Drill a hole in the bottom.

How knackered is it? Where is it?

Around Portsmouth way it would probably get nicked if you left it helpfully unlocked somewhere.

If it was on a trailer it wouldn't be so bad to shift on but it's sat in water at a yacht club. The engine and electrics will be salvaged. Anyone to buy an evinrude 75

I've helped get rid of derelicts before; 9" angle grinder and appropriate PPE to cut it up into small enough bits to either fit in a skip/fit in wheely bins/fit in your car to take to the council dump. A sabre saw would also be suitable. GRP is a bit of a enviro-disaster, fit only for landfill really.

Put it on gumtree some mug will have it

Chainsaw to be honest will be the quickest way - just wear appropriate PPE....

And do what with the bits? Will the local tip accept it?

Viking funeral...

There's been a few people taking old smallish sailing boats, trailer sailer type efforts, turning them into rather smart open harbour launches, there was decent website about it.

You could do us all a favour here...

Get Lenny Dicrapio to crash it into an iceberg.

Sticking up some pics may produce a result.

Result? Well, it would certainly make his eyes water.

That must absolutely destroy the chainsaw.
