Question

Is there anyone out there who wants to give a boat away? a cabin cruiser would be good. my husband wants one?

Answer 1

Remember the old saying, "You get what you pay for".  People are always getting rid of boats for some reason, go find a boat yard and ask about boats for sale.  Good luck in your hunt.

Answer 2

Hi, just hang in there, second hand craft are getting cheaper due to the fact the diesel they use is going to have tax put on it.  Also I believe the system around France etc states that you have to have a skippers licence on the sea.  This will come into UK as we have now signed away all of our rights. I have a 30ft boat and it is pretty costly to run.  Mine is inland water ways, mooring is£1200 yr, licence is £350 yr insurance £300 boat test every 4 years £90.  That is before untying it.  If I hear of one I will  think of you.

Answer 3

dont hold your breath

Answer 4

if you cannot afford to perchase one then you cannot afford to operate one, however send me some pics of you, if i ilike what i see maybe i can give you a ride, (on the boat of course), and you can tell him how much fun it is so you two will have something to work together on as a couple

Answer 5

I think many people here will suggest that you just give him one if he wants it so bad.

Personally, I wouldn't be so crass.

Good luck.

Answer 6

are you mad? the cost of running and maintaining is enough to make someone cry, they dont give boats away try an insurance company you might be able to get a cheapie  but thats about it have fun on your search though

p.s does anybody have this weeks lottery numbers? as i would love to have them lol :) have a nice day people of yahoo answers

Answer 7

no i don't but when you find someone point them in my direction will ya

Answer 8

You obviously know nothing about boating.  The biggest expense is maintaing and operating the boat anyway, even if someone gave you a boat.  Not to mention, a freebee boat will not be even close to seaworthy and the cost of fixing up a boat often costs more than buying a good boat to begin with.

Answer 9

haha i dont think people are willing to do that. try finding a boat repo place that will be cheaper

Answer 10

Me too. I am looking for a free 45 foot center cockpit Island Packet.
