  • Another day destroying a boat

    It is so much more fun destroying a boat deliberately. I've been stripping a damage Bayliner for parts. It was driven up on the beach at Lummi Island last year and holed. Now parts are going to the Pacific Marine Exchange in Bellingham for recyling. Loving this destruction. If I can't get at something to remove it correctly, out comes the Sawzall and I just cut around it. Today the shift lever and cables came off and I got a good start on removing the steering. Got a little 4 banger Chev engine and outdrive to remove. Let's see. Cut away the transom and the hull and jump back. Right?

    I would think that it would be satisfying to cut up a Bayliner no matter what it's condition! :Runaway1:

        If someone would be so kind as to provide a Bayliner, I'll bring my own saw!

          Don't know where I got the idea it was a Bayliner

          Okay, all you Bayliner lovers. These pics are for you. However, when I went looking for ID on the boat, I didn't find a name anywhere. Whatever it is, the motor and outdrive are out. The outdrive goes up and down. Pastor Chris has motor and outdrive on a pallet and he thinks he will get the motor running and sell them as a package. Now to see if I can recall how to post pics.

            Looks like you didn't forget how to send pictures which I am glad for.:GoodJob:

            Makes me wonder at times, who owns the boat or what finance company or bank owns it.

            Some times in Oregon, it better to find them with NO ID on them at all.
            Makes it easier to get a title if you want one.

              I am thinking of doing the same thing to my 1959 Skagit!

                ToomanyBoats,

                If you are going to cut up your skagit, let me know. I am on the hunt for a portion of a bow from a classic boat. I'd like to make a table out of one for my garage. I'd be happy to come out and hit it with my rip saw.

                Thanks!

                  OK, nevermind, I saw that you are in AZ! I'm not coming down there with my saw! If you want to cut it down and ship it....
