Does the $11,000 include the BBQ/Cooking floating platform tied up on the side?

(I bet someone could get the marina and the harbor mates to chip in $ to get that eyesore out of their anchorage!!!!)

Ok, that turd is anchored in some of the nicest blue water in Florida! So derelict boats have a right to anchor inside the Palm Beach Inlet and as long as they aren't leaking anything they can stay. The water regularly fails quality tests, nobody is pumping out legally but literally using a bucket and dumping it overboard after dark. Sylvester Stallone just bought a 35mm mansion within view of this collection of vessels. Google Peanut Island and on the north side you will see a bunch of these "crafts"

This is less than 1/2 mile from that boat, 80mm asking price.

Florida wants them gone but doesn't have the funding to remove them/crush them. They only want qualified salvage operators doing the work (with insurance) in case something goes wrong during the job.

Budget used to be 1mm a year.

Been following it for decades.

The EPA FPW (?) puts insane regulations on the salvors.


Sold a Bobcat to one while I was living down there.

They don’t want the salvers to damage the seabottom around the wreck but they’re not smart enough to see by leaving it there it just implodes on itself and it’s there forever!

See it happen over and over and over again..

Up around Sebastian where we lived there would be a dozen of them sink between there in Melbourne every time after turd floater rain.

If you went in while they were freshly sunk you could float them and tow them to mainland for scrapping.

But they leave them there until the floors, cabin walls, transoms, rot apart and they put straps on them and that cuts them in pieces.

Same in the Keys.

They need to arrest the slime balls that live on them and then abandon them when they sink.


Theyre are the ones damaging the aquatic life not the boat.

It's nothing more than a fun game of border patrol. Here's how it works.

citizen complaints about derilect boats adds up, the complaints get forwarded from city hall to the chief of police.


chief forwards it to the district commanders and says don't make me look bad to the mayer.

district commanders hand it down to the captains Lt's and srgnt's all of whom continue the don't make me look bad but get it done speech and it ends up in the boys hands who in the old days knew how to have some laughs on their shift.


water cops play a fun game of border control towing derelict boats up or down the icw to the next city during the night while trying not to wake up the residents of said boat.

Nice Formula for an entry level, affordable boat.

Got that there thru hall exhaust. I try to keep my exhaust out of the hallways, personally... CO poisoning and all.
