I’ve got a couple more months to figure out an exit strategy for these boats. They’re plopped right by the side of the road, on the only flat spot on the property. It’s the only logical place to put a dumpster, if it comes to that, when we drop the cabin this spring.
The fiberglass runabout seems like the bigger obstacle. There’s no rehabbing it to make it lake-worthy, and I’ve yet to find anyone who will recycle it or take it as scrap. One person I contacted suggested I use it as a flower pot.
Actually, I told her, that’s currently its most endearing feature. This fall, ferns were flourishing among the bottle tops and water toy remnants.
As for the pontoon, at least scrappers would value the aluminum. And if the pontoons actually float (how do you figure this out?) a resourceful soul could rehab this baby and have some fun with it.
I'm noodling with the idea of turning it into a floating patio:
After I bought the land this fall, I put an ad on Craig’s List: “Free boats: Handyman Special. U Haul It.”
My mother suggested I try again, and this time put a price tag on them.
That way, she said, people will think they’re worth something.
