Default free boat?

I have a 37 foot tri-cabin, 1967 vintage that looks like a hurricane
survivor (or loss). My problem is I have meerley been babysitting the
boat for ten years since insurance loss made it avaiable for me. I got
the boat from two gentlemen that were going to cut it up for table tops.
One of the men was Mr Ray Anderson, who at that time owned one of your
52' fiberglass beauties. He wanted the generator, the other wanted the
engines. Anyway, I still have the boat mostly intact, floating on life
support, and looking very poor, like I am. I am in the lake of the
Ozarks in Missouri where the theme is mostly out with the old and in
with the new. I need to do something with the boat, as it is becoming an
eyesore, and a financial burden. I do not have money to fix it up, but I
do have a backhoe to destroy it with. What should I do?

Should I destroy the boat with a backhoe?

How about donating it to a school for the students to rebuild it?

"Listen to the live broadcast of 'Nautical Talk Radio' with Captain Lou every
Sunday afternoon from 4 - 5 (Eastern Standard Time) on the web at
www.959watd.com or if you are in Boston or Cape Cod set your radio dial to
95.9FM.

It's like giving someone a sore toe. the question mark should be on the
free. The boat s a liability. However I can't help but think that it is
worth more when finished than it will take to fix. Especially when the
price of new boats is considered.
