Trailers are always scrap-able! Unless somehow you have a wooden trailer. For the most part, though, aluminum trailers are always worth some kind of money. Being solid aluminum!
That is where you can strip the boat down and take in the clean aluminum for some money!
Obviously, the end goal to scrapping the boat is to get the most money possible! Right? [links]
We hope you will check us out on our Youtube Channel: Born Again Boating! We make all kinds of helpful how-to and DIY boating videos. Along with a ton of outboard service tutorials!
Just because a boat has been sitting for a long time, doesn’t mean that it is time to scrap it, not just yet. Checking over the boat and seeing if it is still viable is a big deal. If the engine still runs, then the boat most likely is not ready to be scrapped. more
Ogilvy’s sales pitch: “Why pay the landfill to take your waste when you can recycle it, use it to manufacture a product and turn the waste fiberglass into a moneymaker?” [links]
“What’s the cheapest way to get rid of a boat?” Sponberg asks. “Abandon it along the side of a canal or at the back of a marina.” more
Filling the landfills
Europeans seem to be making headway in dealing with the problem. In a report about the conference, organizers said: here
Cleaning up the waters and shoreline “is a good thing,” Zagar says. “Taking the hulls to the dump is a bad thing, but I can’t see any other way to do it right now.”
Washington’s aerospace and recreational industries — yacht, bicycle, snowboard, skateboard, swim fin, fishing rod — plus automobile and wind turbine industries “are dumping 2 million pounds of waste fiberglass a year into landfills,” says Jennifer States, the port’s director of business development. “We are working with the producers. We hate that all that carbon fiber goes into the landfill.”
I got it home and pulled the motor off the boat and the boat off the trailer. I left the boat by the side of the road with a $50.00 sign on it. It was gone in three days. And we ordered pizza & wings that night!!

The fibreglass boatbuilding revolution has changed the leisure-boat industry beyond all recognition over the last 50 years, but what effect is a glut of old hulls having on the sale of new boats? And how do you dispose of an old fibreglass boat?
There are a few free ways to properly dispose of an old fibreglass boat, but it may cost money as well.
In the USA, most owners who can’t sell, turn first to boat donation programmes as there are tax breaks associated with donating an asset to charity. In the UK, Portsmouth-based company, Boatbreakers has set up a scheme to prevent boats that are still sellable from attracting inheritance tax. By signing over your boat to the scheme in your Will, your estate may benefit overall and any running costs will be taken out of the sale price. Boatbreakers sells the boat at zero per cent commission, then donates the profit to a charity of your choice. The charity Sail 4 Cancer has set up a similar scheme. more
