Clever skiff

I always liked double enders. OTH a transom sterned boat has a lot to offer, too.

While not from PB&F, this little boat is from a man Phil Bolger called ingenious.

$141/Ton. Yes, the one time I got a trailer by junking a boat I used
a Sawsall to break it into pieces because it was much cheaper than
trying to dispose of a whole boat. I can't recall now, but the dump
bill came to $150 more or less. Honestly, it was kind of fun chopping
a 1970's era jet boat into chunks. It made the teenagers I know go
crazy.

Same here, but it might be possible to get a charity to take the boat, although I've never tried it. They might balk if it doesn't have a trailer, but it's worth a phone call.

Jon

same here the really cheap trailers run $600-800 for the utility trailers ever so occasionally someone does not want to finish a home built but by the time you do the paper work for a home built NH is cheaper

With a small car, what I liked about my own little Harbor Freight
utility trailer was the lightness. Even with a tongue extension and
the 12" wheels, it came in under 200 pounds.

Bruce, what is the dump rate per ton there?

If you don't already have one, a really good sawzall costs about $150. In one afternoon with a respirator for the toxic dust and a sawzall, you could cut most trailerable boats into 4 foot square, mostly flat pieces, that would meet most dump regulations for regular trash that gets charged by the ton.

As a destruction tool, a sawzall with a coarse blade is amazing. With a fine blade used with care, a sawzall can do a lot of construction tasks that are very difficult with any other kind of tool.

Where I live (just outside of the City of Seattle) the dump rate is $102 per ton, and most small boats weigh a lot less that a ton.

Buying a cheap trailer, that includes a hopelessly rotted boat, sounds to me like a perfect justification to buy a good sawzall that pays for itself in reduced dump fees for the dead boat.

Sincerely,

Roger

And, were I live, those three used trailers would have junker boats on
them. You can have the trailer for cheap, but the dump site charges
$300 to take the junk boat as landfill.

All in where you live

On our Craigs list there are 3 want to buys for boat trailers.

I've had two of their trailers, a 4x4 and a 4x8 -- ordinary, not boat -- and both of those seem to be of good quality. The larger one is new, but I hauled the 4x4 with a 4' plywood high box on it full of luggage and camping gear all the way from West Virginia to Nogales on the Arizona border with Mexico, up to Rocky Mountain National Park, and back home again, with part of the trip spent on rough dirt desert back roads, and had no failures at all. If their boat trailers are as good as this one...
