Does this mean your retiring the raft?? ?

AKA.......drowning platflorm.

Can't you just do a lien sale on it for storage? I have done that in the past on motorcycles I repaired and no one picked up. Then you get a clear title.

The old man actually did sign a lost title form at some point.

It might be in my file cabinet but Sarah put 500 pounds of jewelry in it for some reason and now the drawers won't open.

I seriously haven't opened that file cabinet since 2005 when I bought my F150 and before that, probably ten years, so..

Does this mean your retiring the raft?? ?

No, the raft is the only thing I know of other than a canoe that can get over this submerged tree blocking access to the majority of the marsh's back channels. I don't think the bass boat would make it unless I did something stupid like ram it and try to slide over it.

My guess is it would have to be a waterway under federal jurisdiction. One that's considered "navigable".

Probably need a salvage license too.

It appears to be easier to deal with this stuff in MO. Why not fill it out for MO and then @Blood file all that paperwork and then "sell" you the boat for what it cost to file the paperwork?

That could work.
I know with homemade trailers and some lien-holds you have to get an inspection from SHP.
I dunno how salvage works but the boat probably isn't worth dragging a thousand miles if it has to be inspected.

My cousin runs a salvage yard near me and I need to talk to him this week. I'll ask him how they do it.

what you have is known as a Vehicles 10 F....Apply for a surety bond.
You can go threw your insurance company to get it bonded.
I have looked this up for you......Hope it can be of some help.

Yeah seriously...

I've been floating down that river on plywood and styrofoam for years and never got in trouble.

Half of those trips we were drunker than @BirchBarlow too.

It'd give you a clear title if you ever decide to sell it.

One thing I have in common with @Blood is that we don't sell our old vehicles. We just put them out to pasture..

R.I.P. 6 horse shop vac.

Motor burned up.



I bought it when I was 18. I'm almost 40 now.

 

[tommyh]

you got your moneys worth on that thing

In the factory, the brown box was installed first. It had a hole in it and do does the hull.

Brown box was riveted down first, then the T- tube was inserted from inside the box and TIG welded to the hull.





The guy we got it from removed the T-tube from the other side. He did it by taking a Sawzall and cutting a big chunk out of the hull and bolting an aluminum plate over the hole on both sides, with half a tube of silicone.

 

[Duck]

The F must be the grade he got in shop class.

 

[Duck]

Anyway I want both seats/live wells gone but I didn't want to butcher the hull like he did. So instead I opened up a serious can of whoop-ass on the live well.







And somehow I didn't even cut up my hands on the jagged edges.

New invention. I just made it.

For stirring diesel tanks after adding Diesel 911. Or anti-gel if you don't remember to put it in prior to filling the tanks.

The bottom nut is welded to the threaded rod so it can't ever fall off in the tank.

There's some sediment in the bottom of my parts washer. Perfect for testing it.

It almost instantly churns it up and clouded up the degreaser. So for mixing D-911 in a truck tank it's perfect.

Balanced pretty good too. At full speed with the AC corded drill it stayed true and didn't wobble all over the place.

Gonna just have keep a little brush with it to make sure it's clean before using it.

Truck tank filler hole measured 2-5/8" so I made this 2-1/4".

My dad made one of those 20 years ago. You'll be hearing from his attorney. Aka me. Wait you just did. Gimme money.

Our local scrap yard said anything with a VIN and no title, cut or smash it and they can take it as misc metal.

I stole the idea from a TA rescue squad guy who was de-gelling a truck next to me in a Pilot.

His had an actual boat propeller shaped plastic blade on it and the shaft was fiberglass so it was flexible. Obviously made in a factory.

He owes me money too. Factory, eh? Deep pockets!

Laws are complicated for junkyards.

I wouldn't want to operate one.

Without even getting into all the EPA bullshit about soil contamination, title issues are a mess.

I asked my local bone yard if they would sell me an F-150 on junk wheels and tires so I can use it as a donor for its stick-shift parts, then come take it back when I'm done. The guy said he can only give it to me for 30 days. No sale and repurchase, because of title issues. I said well it's not going to be registered, who needs a title? Nobody's going to fix up a 1993 F-150 with a missing bed and no hood,.. He said it doesn't matter and he'd be taking a risk of legal problems with the state just by loaning it to me.

I was going to convert the old 77 F-100 to 5 speed this winter but I said fuck it.
