how does one dispose of a boat?

fatlazyless · 10-04-2019, 07:19 PM

Tomorrow's Oct 5 Laconia Daily Sun has a front page article on disposing fiberglass boats titled: "When boats reach the aft-erlife" that talks about the problems and challenge to get rid of a junky, unwanted, fiberglass boat.

"Please, don't bring it here!"

Go to their website and click on the e-Edition to read it.

And, how do you get rid of old gasoline if the old clunker boat has a gas tank with eight left-over gallons of old gasoline? What do you do with it?

Sounds like a good business opportunity for someone willing to put in the work.

3 photos in above LaDaSun article .... in case you missed them .... take a good look. Seems like a used boat parts business that is totally perfect for Ebay .... Ebay is the internet .... and the Ebay seller can be located anywhere in the United States or the world and the stuff sells for a higher price.

In Meredith, across from the DPW and transfer station, isn't the parcel of land, home to M & M Boat Salvage listed for sale with a 'for sale' sign out by the road? So, will it continue as a boat salvage or become something else or will the town purchase this large, open piece of land with a power line running across and above it?

Will look for the 'for sale' listing ... 8 Jenness Hill Rd, Meredith NH 03253

Until there's a method for recycling fiberglass boat hulls into some type of building material like Trex lumber or mixing it with asphalt paving or something, the transfer station breaks them down with a front end loader/back hoe and stuffs the broken fiberglass boat into a dumpster trailer that goes to Casella's land fill in Bethlehem, NH.

If you cut up a fiberglass boat hull with a chain saw, and then run the large pieces through a large, powerful wood chipper ..... can the resulting pile of fiberglass chips get remade into a new, year-2020 Chevy Corvette sports car ..... or something? Is now a good time to remake that 1977 19' Bayliner into a 2020 Corvette that sells for $65,000 ...... or what!

The message of this newspaper article is the "what to do" with unwanted, old junk fiberglass boats has become more of a problem with M & M Boat Salvage no longer taking them .... and the article says M & M could pay $500, or charge up to $2000, depending on the boat.

Boats are just like people ..... it's not the age .... it's the condition!

Believe the transfer station is okay to receive an aluminum boat hull and they are able to sell the old scrap aluminum? Unlike fiberglass, seems different for aluminum? Of course, aluminum boats and aluminum docks usually last forever and can be resold and used, unlike old, unwanted fiberglass. Bringing an aluminum boat to the transfer station for disposal is somewhat similar to bringing a 10 carrot gold toilet to the transfer station for disposal.

thank you for providing the article, I was hoping it was going to provide some insight on how to get rid of them, not just well they used to do it this way and now know ones

I'm sure the guys at Fays know or any other marina if they journalist asked or did a little more digging to make it a complete story. It was more of like just a opening segment of hey old boats are a problem
