Taking out the trash

So I guess the time has come to depart with the crashed up Kona.
I have been holding on to it and telling myself that I might fix it, but that was just a fantasy. It is time for Me to just put it to rest and move on.
I need to remove My intake and some misselaneous hardware and then it will be ready to go. So that brings Me to My question. What is the protocall for dumping a fiberglass hull? Is there any place that will take it whole? does it need to be cut up?
I will probobly scrap the trailer, but just do not know about the hull itself.
I am in Vegas, if any one knows about a local area and where to take it....Hal

Hal, you have my sympathies. That has to be one of the hardest things to do beside loosing a family member. It was such a beautiful boat. In fact I have your build thread bookmarked as a guide for my son while he build his Sleek.
If I lived close by, I'd stop by with a case of beer and help you with it.

I would imagine that you would have to cut it and dispose of it in the local dump. A guy i bought a pump from did that here.

In Oklahoma it would burial at sea. Artificial fish habitat.

If it is crashed bad then cut it up. If it can be made into a playground toy then see if you can do that.

The side of the boat makes a nice man cave hanging also. Fred Rice crashed this hydro on I believe it's first pass. He said he spent countless hours polishing every bolt.

Not a pic of the wall hanging but it's in the background.

Pretty "uncerimonius" here ya take em to the land fill pay 20 bucks and the roll over them with a D8 Cat They kind of make a loud POP noise , actually kind of sad !

Hal,

Both you and the boat deserved better, far better.
