boat to sink

[georgia sportsman]

I have an old challanger bass boat that someone can have to sink for a fish attractor. It has already been gutted, I just have to remove the motor.

 

[fishnboy]

Can you bring it to my boat ramp in lakesite?

 

[georgia sportsman]

I will let anyone that wants the boat have it, but I can't deliver it.

Thanks

I m very curious if this is legal, I will have one to dispose of as well, and that of doing the same thing.

Sure just do it at night and dont let anyone see you doing it.

I'm not sure about everywhere, but I went through the proper channels and got permission to sink one in the queen city lake about 8 years ago. Had to strip everything out of the boat first.

<font size="3" face="georgia,palatino">No, it is not legal to dispose of your trash in a public waterway .There are ramifications of navigation rights and how much weight do you put in it to keep it in place in case of a flood or during high generation periods. But if you like the idea I have a Cadillac I will be glad to park on the public right of way in front of your house for a bird sanctuary.</font>

I think he was just asking. It's easier to just ad a helpful comment instead of a start a** answer. Your comment is why people hesitate to post things on here.

I don't know about the lake, but the owners of rock quarries that allow scuba diving might be interested in recieving them. I regularly dive in two places. Loch-Low Minn in Athens and Philidelphia Quarry. I'll see if the owners are interested in new additions to the underwater "attractions."

You will need to call TWRA and there is a process to get a permit for creating structure in the lake.

Sinking a boat will probably be quite an endeavor. Unlike a simple brush pile, there are a lot more things to consider. How clean is the boat? Is there any kind of fuel or oil residues that can leech into the water? What other materials is the boat made of they may break down and pollute the surrounding areas?

Ouch!! Never knew that sinking a boat would ever be a bad thing.Guess with all the grass out there it would'nt hold fish anyway.

Just go to some of the drag boat races and take your gps, when one hits a wake and explodes mark the spot.. emoLaugh emoLaugh emoBigsmile

So does this mean that you are not interested in the boat? As for the Caddy, I will gladdly take it off your hands.

I have taken several to the land fill in Jasper. It is kinda fun to watch the boat EXPLODE when they run over them with the big packer or what ever they are called. Another problem is if the boat is a fiberglass they will have foam in them and will have to be removed to get it to go down. There was one at jasper a few years ago that was just floating down the river just under the surface. It was a good thing the water looked funny around it as I came up on it or I would have ran over it. Just my thoughts.

I wanna sink the caddy that would make a awsome spot. I have sank tons of boats
