What do we do with old boats?

[Barry Loos]

When I looked at David's post below regarding "Boat disposal in NJ", I started thinking, what do you do with all of the old fiberglass boats that are totally trashed. My tin boat could be recycled for beer cans I guess but has anyone come up with an idea for fiberglass. Does anyplace take old hulls and grind them up in a recycle process? Sinking them would be impossible for some boats - ala the ad with the Ranger on the water with a hole cut in the hull. Are we missing the oportunity of a good industry?



Sorry, I guess the first signs of cabin fever are setting in. When I get the fever I start talking about dumb stuff. Think I'll go watch a Woo Daves video.

"Old Fishermen Never Die,

They Just Smell That Way."

See the problem with Glass again doncha boys? See Tin is fully recycleable. My first boat was a 12ft Tin semiV, when (after 35 years, I had it 2) it developed a long crack in the bow, I sold it for $50 more then I paid for it for scrap Aluminium!!!
