jenkI remember laughing when I read #21 in Simplify Your Life: "Sell the damn boat."
Well, now you can't, at least, you often can't at the right price, and they're a little big to just throw in the trash. So more pleasure boat owners abandoning their boats or even sinking them, making them into both navigational & environmental hazards.
Some owners deliberately sink or "lose" the boat and then tell the insurance company it was an accident. Yes, this is fraud.
California's come up with a novel solution: if it's seaworthy, you can give it to the state to dispose of for free. Hopefully they will handle disposal in a smart (recycling as appropriate?) way.
I wonder if people are abandoning cars too, or if they tend to end up back at the dealership.
