How would you scrap a 310' ferry like this? it's only bidding 122k so far!

What are the costs of getting something like this ready to scrap?

I know nothign about scraping, could I buy this and sell it to a scrap yard for a profit?

Your site won't allow me to post links. Please search ebay for Boat, Ship, RoRo Ferry, Yacht, Floating Waterfront Hotel, Restaurant, For Sale

if you are interested.

The answer is you don't scrap it.......Appears sea-worthy

I like numbers that run in a row >> so I bid $124,567.89
Had the high bid for about 2 minutes

I would be comfortable placing a bid >> In fact I DID place a bid

I honestly don't understand why someone who knows absolutely nothing about something would even consider getting involved in that something they know absolutely nothing about.

Maybe you should start out by picking up aluminum cans on the side of the road.

Oh, by the way, welcome to the forum.

With a sawzall and pickup truck I could knock this out in 5000 trips easy

This is how I have made a pretty good living. I find experts in their field and partner up with them. That is why I came to this forum.

You forgot the "3". With that in there you'd have won...

To answer the original question the cost to scrap this are astronomical........They don't play around when there could be spillage/leakage of oil and fluids into harbor/port

Too bad they couldn't get it to Florida. I bet that was the boat they wanted as a ferry across Tampa Bay.
