srm413 Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 its a royal pita! Sawzall and either take it to the transfer station or get rid of it on a weekly basis with trash pick-up (takes forever) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gellfex Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Assuming it's fiberglass I'd use a diamond or carbide grit recip saw to cut it to manageable chunks. It'd eat through several regular blades. Disposal depends on your locale. Around here I'd have to call a private hauler of some kind. What would you do with a regular glass tub?

Shag Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Brought this up a few moths ago. Tub is still in place, glad the manual for cleanup is here. 24 foot sailboat is next. Please have photos.

saltfisherman Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 If it’s fiberglass cover your eyes, mouth and wear long sleeve/pant leg clothing plus gloves. ted527 and DMacLeod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMc Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Sawzall, in the weekly trash. You know it must be a penguin bound down if you hear that terrible screaming and there ain't no other birds around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rathrbefishn Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 My brother-in-law did this with a Sawzall and disposed it over time in the weekly trash to saem some $s on disposal costs. Said between the fiberglass and the insulation it was kind of messy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop the mast, remove the boat's registration plate and any identifiers, scuttle it by dark of night in 30 ft, mark the spot to tog there next year.

Kml Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Burning fiberglass does give off quite a special aroma. Shag, is the keel on the sailboat made out of lead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, that's what I did with mine after sawzalling it up into manageable pieces. At least the cedar enclosure burnt nicely. I'll have mine on the rocks.
