Ship recycling

Are you going to bring them into a dry dock or beach them. If its beach them then in my opinion tide is the most important thing to consider. Bring it in on the highest tide you can then work on it on the low tide.

There are lots of shears available, but like other things bigger is better but you have to consider your work environment. If you are working on the beach smaller may be easier to work and not sink in. Also if it does sink in a lighter model is easier to pull out. Best of luck and include photos if you can. Mike
