Exploring a Boat & Marine Salvage Yard | Abandoned Boat Graveyard

Your video is making me seasick.

Me and my buddy bought a aluminum hull 1992 Crestliner with 115 Suzuki, with trailer … we restored it back 2010-11, that first season we ran as is, rotten wood flying off did not knock the smiles off our faces, that off season, we disassembled the carpet covered deck panels an used as patterns for cutting replacements, painted silver, red and black numbering, black Bimini, gray and red seats, red piping replaced all the rotten wood with marine grade, even splurged on some mahogany side panel marine grade that we stained… I describe it as the “Ricky Bobby Special”, once we got her back together, stop at QT to top off, inevitable that some dude with a southern accent would say “Damn nice lookin boat you got there… ; ) So there are gems to found there

also, just going and walking around in a place like this is like one of my most desired things to do, i just love looking at old stuff and abandoned stuff, and like you were saying about finding items left by the owners, that stuff just fascinates me

you can get sea sick because the camera NEVER stops moving!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The yard of broken dreams! At one time all this was brand new and cherished by owners, now its languishing on the ground. How refreshing to hear that the visitor is responsible for not falling or killing themselves, and that personal responsibility is alive and flourishing.

😮wow! Thanks for sharing!

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. What struck me was there were plenty of speedboats, but no whalers. Some workboats that were ancient and a few yachts. I will need at some point to replace an elderly Honda long shaft outboard and can see that this is the place to go to get a replacement without breaking the bank.

At the 18:45 mark there is a blue/white Checkmate. I went yesterday, after verifying it was still there, and put a deposit on it. He said it will take several days to pull it out. 1979 Enchanter

Thanks! I’ve been curious about that place for decades! But now I want to go buy a junk sailboat and a trailer!

All the stories the boats could tell. Cool place to visit. Former USCG.

Tri-Hulls are absolutely the roughest riding boats I've ever been in & owned,I had a Colbalt,a BEAUTIFUL boat but for floating around or on a lake like Cumberland or DaleHallow

18:19 That old Hydra Sports is sweet, I love bass boats! That’s sad that was a bad ass bass boat at one time!

Nice - thanks ! ! ! 🙂😎👍

Very nice video. At 18:47 there was a closed bow speed boat on the right. Looks like a checkmate eluder. If you do go back I would be very thankful if you could video as much of it as you can. I would love to restore one. Thanks!

This is a marine junkyard and it is evident that most of the boats are beyond salvage and resale. It was really sad to see the wood Chris Craft Constellation and 37 ft Egg Harbor falling apart. If they moved the 10% of good boats to another location and fixed them up they might have a going business. I fear that someone will inherit a mess to clean up.

It reminds me we are such a throw away society. Some poor kid is dreaming of a boat he can't afford and these probably had lots of life left when they were discarded.

Wow my God good

That old wooden/fiberglass boat you called a "Crownline" maybe, was a Chris Craft Cavalier from the '60s. If you owned one of those back then, I would assume you were higher than middleclass, although they made them in several sizes.

I just finished up going through my 1998 johnny 150 OIS running like a top now.

exactly how many beers did you have before deciding to go walkabout in the boat yard, i was completly hammered by the time you finished. camera must have been strapped to your leg........cheers!
