What I do with them is strip them right down, take them to a landfill, lever it off the trailer, pay the man, and go home. Nothing else is worth it in my book.

You will have to sharpen your chain when you get done though and it makes a huge mess! But its fun! Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

The basic problem with cutting them apart in any way is make sure you're skin is well protected and you have the best mask on $ can buy. It's one messy job. Not worth it in my book, but I may have already mentioned that... Good luck! Frank Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

You may want to put a post in the Renken forum on iboats and see if anyone is looking for parts.If somone did that on the MFG forum people would be all over it. Niagara county has a landfill that charges by the ton, can find out more info if you need it.Or put it on Craigs,,, if it's free it's for me mantra will draw somone to that beauty.

First thought was Craigslist, but you need the time to show it to all the folks that reply. [tire kickers, and societies' finest citizens] The more parts you leave on, the better chance to give the hull away. -- looks like the windshield is intact?

I had an old one that didnt even have good glass. only logical choice was to pay to get rid of it. I bought it for a motor and good trailer, and with the deal I got, i didnt mind paying to scrap the hull. Probably spent too much, as the floor was waterlogged and hull tipped the scales higher than I figured.

I agree cutting it up just ain't worth the hassle. The last one I had to get rid of was a 14' Larson that was just junk. I bought it for the motor and trailer so the boat had to go. I took it to the local landfill undid the tie downs backed up quickly, slammed on the brakes and watched it fly!! Only cost $35.00 so well worth it.

Neil Offline Platinum Boarder Posts: 1997 Karma: 65 Thank you received: 1	I cut up a 24 foot Fiberform cabin cruiser. Ouch Chainsaw, circular saw, Sawsall, four inch angle grinder, axe, and a sledgehammer. Used some vulgarities that I have not heard in years. If cutting it up is the last option for getting rid of it, there is just no easy way. Its just dirty work. Neil Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

LOL all good input if it were home in albany I would make quick work of it with the front end loader. But its in Ontario Center NY. It is all intact as far as parts winsheild is good and hardware are all there I only took the motor and controlls. I will put it on CL and look for the Renken Fourum on Iboats. if no luck I will take it to the dump or have a go at it with the tools of demolition... Thank you all for the input. if any one has use for any parts keep it in mind

Comes with a fabulous trailer.... no winch one broken spring and a flat tire lol.... I think CL for free is the key, wash it make it look good and send it on its way! floor and transom seem solid on it and I have papers for both boat and trailer so that should help on the CL for free.
Thank you all
Jesse

I had to cut one up last summer...I wouldn't be jumping in line to do it again.

There is a demolition derby in Holland where they drag the boats around the race track. I found out about it too late for that one, but it might be something to consider.

I personally don't think you'll have a hard time getting rid of it for free though, especially with a good title.

Some would buy it just for the title.
