    Awesome. Most of the ones I ever see people want to get rid of are "project" boats. No title, no trailer, no motor, no seats, etc.

    Boats aren't waste. Seriously, if they float, sell them. Doesn't matter the state of them. I scrap the aluminum row boats but thats it. Boats are a rich mans game, and row boats feed a poor man. You can quote me on this, I'm drunk!

    Talk about a boatload ! I'm so jealous right now that I can't stand it. But also very happy for you.
