how does one dispose of a boat?

Over 1k, and the cost started. At a ton, it was $122, I think. If it was aluminum, I could throw it in the recycle trailer or sell it to a metal recycler.

Would a good cleanup with a pressure-washer make the boat more presentable for sale—or for free?

Or to highlight damage to make repairs easier to assess?

Is the hesitancy of putting it on Craigslist one of legality?
