That was my first thought. He is in a hurry to get her cut up for salvage. “I need to get a wrecking crew in there as soon as possible and cut the boat into scrap, then I’ll sell whatever I can to try and recoup some of the cost,” he said. “But it has to be demolished quickly.” Why the haste?
At the end of the article it says he only had liability insurance on her. He can only hope to recoup whatever he sells as scrap.
Very sad, we spent some pleasant evenings aboard her when she was a dinner theater.
No insurance, no buyers for her, no money to keep her fit, sounds like sink her and scrap her may have been his way to get rid of an albatross.
Sad, I spent many evenings aboard her dining and enjoying theater.
“. The Becky Thatcher had been listed for sale on EBAY for about the last three years at a listing price of $299.000 with no takers.”
Seems like it would have been worth if for scrap.
