I just missed a 1965 35' Steel Hull Roamer on our local want ads for
$2500.00 ready to go...... Good grief.

Worth more than that in scrap.

Well, If you figure scrap that scrap has gon down, from about $220.00
per ton for un prepared steel, (car bodies) to about $180.00 per ton
now, ....

eh. I don't really know.

But still even for scrap that would be a chunk if it weighed 20 tons

Boat weighed 12 ton. I'dve jumped on it if I had the coin. Excellent
Lakes boat, and fast for its size as well.....- Hide quoted text -

There was a guy locally that went to the scrap yard and bought a
pretty nice aluminum 20 ft. jon boat . One exception, it had about a 6
inch gouge int he side of it. He bought it trailer and all for $150.00
Then took it to the local metal dobber and had the cut repaired,
($60.00) and it looks practically new from the outside. took it home
and mounted a 30 hp evinrude he had in his garage. He used it all of
last year, then he pulled the engine off and resold the boat and
trailer for $1000.00 a couple weeks ago.

trash to treasure.
