Default Re: Where Can You Junk a Hull

We scrap boats at Sea Tow all the time. Now have a seat for the news.

#1- ALL metal must be removed from the hull. All means all. Every single screw must be gone. They check. OBVIOUSLY all liquids like fuel and oil must be removed too

#2 - The yard charges ( or used to last I checked) about $600 to rid you of the stripped down boat.

This is why some uninsured boats dont pay to touch and just ignore it free floating.

And to restate the obvious- it is illegal to scuttle or abandon it.
