The lead keel is being sold separately
Send them a message, no salvage work/demo/dump runs are even likely required.

Yeah, it's just a little bit of a haul for me to arrange. Just thinking if someone local can grab and save some for me I can pick it up whenever I'm out that way..

Processing a keel down to clean ingots for casting is serious work. Just handling the weight to get it into a spot to start cutting is a bear.

you better have a salvage yard to process that. the old turkey fryer just won't cut it.

I've been following the Arabella build since the day they poured the keel for it.

Wow ! what a canker sore of a boat wreck...run away, the lead keel is about the only thing worth salvage , bring a forklift, Or buy a harbor freight electric chainsaw to cut it up to manageable chunks

this guy might buy it !

He might get out of the hole he dug by parting out the boat but I don't understand why he is trying to sell the hull and the deck separately for $500? Without a keel the hull is basically "toxic" fiberglass waste. You will have to pay to have it landfilled.

I*m thinking his best bet is to offer someone the $500 to haul it all away.
