Got rid of my 156ft vessel!

[BlueToes]

Finally it's done! Got out from under my 156 ft vessel! As the years went by, the price of scrap got surpassed by the cost of mooring fees. Found a guy who would haul it away from the harbor for free, and under that condition, the harbor master and city peoples are going to eliminate all proceedign mooring fees. And at this time them fees are at 89k. So now im down to only 2/5 ulcers!

What exactly is that boat?

 

[Preacherboy]

That is cool, but why is this under the CUCV forum?

 

[cessnatwin]

That is what I was wondering Is he hinting that Cucv's are a pain?

 

[gimpyrobb]

I bet he plans on buying one with the scrap money.

For some reason this thread makes me go "WTF" and "That's awesome, that guy has a ship!!!".

I'm sure it was a pain though, the coolest things always are.

 

[ralbelt]

nooooo he was thinking a cucv has a second life as an anchor.

 

[cessnatwin]

Yes he has a ship! and one **** of a slip fee too! I would rather have no ship and I think that was the moral of the post!

 

[wreckerman893]

And I thought my wrecker was a money pit.

 

[cessnatwin]

the ship was an armpit!

 

[mktopside]

If I had a ship and some serious slip fees........ Well, I dunno what I would do.... But it would probably be something witty and juvinile.

 

[jluv1185]

How, and why do you have a ship? I mean...who the **** owns a ship? But then again I bet people say the same thing about old green trucks... Congrats on the unshipping.

 

[cessnatwin]

I guess they are a money pit in the water after all

 

[cessnatwin]

Boat means bring over another thousand, just like RV means Ruins Vacations!

 

[mktopside]

This thread need more pics, and a good long story to explain how this came to be.


However, does the OP win the largest surplus vehicle owned prize?

LOL, and to think HOAs complain about MVs.

SHIP-Sure Hauls In Pirates

I bet that boat cost a load to keep around. It will probably fetch a decent amount for scrap.

 

[kendelrio]

I understand the need to scrap her, but as a mariner, it sure is tough to see the old girl go to the scrap yard.......

Before I got my M1008 I thought about this 126' 1927 USCG Ship for my MV.

BOAT= Break out another thousand, but I think a boat this big is a BOATT, Break Out Another Ten Thousand

I think you could moor a boat that big outside the harbor and not pay the moorage fees, $90k is nuts, they're oooonnnllyy asking $125k for this one.

Funny thing is I think my wife would rather have the USCG ship, she doesn't like bumpy water, and it can get bumpy quick up here in AK, if only I could afford it, not to mention a 20 gallon tank is a lot easier to fill up than 16,000 gallons
