What is the best way to get rid of an old fiberglass boat? I'm thinking- burn it. But, pretty sure is illegal. What other alternatives do I have that are legal? I'm not retiring-- screwed up the title-- an old boat. lol

Is it worth selling? If it is, I would sell it. If not, you could cut it up with a saw zall and bring it to a dumpster. Burning isn't a good idea. I tried to burn an old port o let once and the smoke was unreal.
