Please do not do this.......This is some of the worst advice that you could have been given..........These are relatively easy to cut up and if you are not doing anything else this job can be done in a weekend.......Probably $50 worth of sawzall blades and some blood/sweat/tears......At $200 you shouldn't lose money so go ahead and do it and it will be a learning experience

I got a free "working" hot tub one time that did not work and I was not in the mood to fiddle with it so out came the sawzall and to the dump it went- in pieces. Took me maybe an hour.
My dump operator would gladly take it whole and crush it with his loader- he's done a few boats over the years. I personally would not do it for $200 if it was just about the money unless
the trailer is just rusty ( not rusted out) and solid then it would be worth it because a decent trailer could bring good money if cleaned up and painted ( rustoleum works wonders)
I can make more money faster on other projects so for me it's a matter of time/labor VS profits made.
Hope it works out for you whatever you decide.

Update went out there Friday evening picked up a riding mower and an all alum gazebo still have more to get car bumpers and a another riding mower.

Now for the boat:
The trailer is structurally sound just looks like hell. The boat is currently full of water on the inside. One of the trailer tires will need to be replaced in order to move it the land fill. So I'm charging $300.00 and they are going to get the tire fixed and ill be paying the tipping fee of $80.00 at the landfill. I will remove the mast, cleats and anything else worth anything. The sail and ruder are stored inside I will try and rehome those. So I should clear $220.00 + anything I can scrap or sell and I will have a boat trailer to sell as well.

This will be done in the next few weeks. I'll update as the job progress and start taking pics/video also.
