Not Lake Powell, but a fun Saturday.

[Dave I.]

Houseboat dismantled but the toons were too good to scrap. The toons weigh about 3000 pounds a piece judging from how the Bobcat lifted them.

Just a little Saturday fun here at the shop. Just felt like sharing.

It was a 50' Boatel.

Enjoy!

I hear it's worth $7 or $17 per ton here in GJ! Dont remenber exact price but worthless either way.

Make long BBQ's like the ones we used at the yacht club for the Mens Club Clam Bake every year. They were made out of 55 gallon drums, cut in half and welded together. Sq

Last time I was in GJ, I took a full size '73 Dodge van that even had 2 bags of concrete (set up due to getting wet) in the back. With no title, it was $3 a pound. I got $4.30 for the whole thing, If I had the title, it would have been $5 a ton (originally put pound, lol. I wish). But that was about 3 weeks ago.

But, since these pontoons are in really good shape internally, they are going to be replacements for a pair that are beyond repair.

As far a scrap metal in concerned, my pile will grow until prices come back up. Otherwise, not even worth the fuel to get it there. Tanking fuel and steel prices are never a good indicator for the economy, but this isn't a recession debate.

I know you mean ton, not pound.

Opps. yup, it is a ton. My typing mistake. Would have paid well if $5 a pound. haha
I'll fix that to avoid any confusion.

I wouldn't have one piece of steel around my place if it was $5 a pound... Could you imagine.

I told him he should go to the lake and see if they will let him launch his "Man Sized" kayaks.

Hang a 150 on it. Last words "Hey y'all, watch this."

If you want to sell them Dave, shoot me a price ....

These ones are already spoken for and at their new home already
There are several more boats that I have access to so if you are interested in a couple of toons, what size are you looking for?

It's a big project swapping them out. You must have more spare time than I do. haha

 

[botnb]

I DO have a lot of spare time, and have enough to get in real trouble. Actually, if I had a choice, I would want some 28'-32'long alum. pontoons, but have interest in steel down to 36', just easier to transport. Any longer steel ones, I would probably cut down.
