I recently saw one company that was owned by a rich hoarder. He had a big yard, maybe 2 acres. It was completely filled with storage semi trailer vans, full of crap, unbelievable sight. This crap is right now on auction he https://www.apexauctions.com/auction...auctionId=1104 That guy already extended the timed auction, by 40 days, TWICE. (!!!!) He believes that he has a bunch of treasures. What I see is a bunch of scrap metal junk that is hard to get out of those semi trailers. i |

Is there a market for used I-beams that large? I'll bet you could get a lot more than scrap prices for them.

Yeah, all you'd need to do is build a cradle for the boat, and a two or three axle Class 5 or 6 "City Tractor" retired from a beverage distributor. You wouldn't need a full-on Class 8 tractor with that light of a load. -- Bruce -- |
