Absolutely love love this boat. would love to have one like
Man as someone who is restoring a boat my dad gave me . This is both interesting yet heart wrenching to see . My boat sat for 6 years. Took me 2 to get it back on the water. It's a 1996 sea arrow 20 ft center console inboard. It's an awesome boat. Sad to see so many cool boats rotting away.
It absolutely breaks my heart seeing so many boats that could be repaired in the salvage yard. I really need a reasonably priced boat so much. Thanks for sharing this video Onelove.
Because repairs are more expensive than buying a good used boat. After you restore one of them you will NEVER going to get your money back. So it is just for enthusiasts.
@@alexorehowski3387 yes but it can be depending on the size of the boat maybe
@@lightskinxxvvxx7334 It doesn't matter how big or small a boat is, you never ever going to get back what you put into it.
Unless it's a young boat with some little damage, but all the crap in this yard isn't worth it. And like with cars people
also need used parts, so it's good to have yards like this.
@@3DPeter it does the more bigger the boat the more money and work you gotta put into it just one old beat up boat can cost $5k to probably like $25k $20k can be the same with cars
@@lightskinxxvvxx7334 Only putting 20-25k into a 5k beat up classic car will make you money.
Just think, at some point every one of these boats were new and the owner was beaming with pride.
Same goes for cars.
yeah junkyards can be depressin.
very sad thought
Nice one-up buddy.
So sad.....
Reuse and Recycle are foundational to green boating. Kudos to this boatyard offering such a vast supply of products which did not end up in landfill. Thx for sharing. The Green Boater community applauds.
As a outboard mechanic and a boating fan this means heaven to me
amen!
we need help if your looking
Адское место .
Or hell 😂
Yup, I could spend hours looking around that place for projects to work on.
what an incredible place , i could literally spend months if not years in that place , a real shame we dont have anything like this in england
The OCD in me makes me want to own this place, set up a team and organize everything. Provide a free place for volunteers who want to restore boats in exchange for helping bits in the structurizing and recycling of parts. Internet is huge market for a lot of these parts which are still in good condition. Parts not in condition to be sold directly, repaired with minor expense can be scrapped directly.... sooo much opportunity here!
Quite right! There are people on eBay who make a business parting out the generic boating hardware. Boats in good shape could be left as is, but a lot of these boats will never sell as it. Part them out.
want a job doing it come see me the field is open / i dont sell im the yard manager i sort
@@ErnestLingerfelt are any of the 25ft trailers for sale or up for grabs ?
@@jomarscavella68 yes
@@ErnestLingerfelt can you send me your contact please. Appreciate it
I don't post at all but after seeing this I cried as a man seeing all these boats. I'm a disabled vet and only wish I could own a boat to take kids out fishing. Seeing all these boats I hope they had fun times in them.
Looks like a perfect place to go windshield shopping for old boats
Сума сойти
Great videi. Loved seeing all the old boats. Thanks to the management for letting all us fans see this
teriffic yard.
Oh wow. As a boat mechanic /enthusiast, this is heaven on earth.
There’s more potential there than meets the eyes. Thanks for this video. I had no idea how close to me this place is.
let me know i give tours (need the break from pulling parts)
@@ErnestLingerfelt are parts priced reasonable? I live 4-5 hrs away. Would love to visit this place and have enough $$ to make trip worthwhile and bring back alot of parts. I have 3 boat build projects going now. I am sure I could find alot of stuff to help my collection.
Is this the place in dawsonville Georgia?
The yard layout could be better organized, looking at the inventory I see most boats are the low price type, a few medium price ones but they all deteriorate quite fast being outside exposed to the elements without any attention. I did note the sailboat, under the cover it looked OK so some of the stuff is salvageable and I would bet the majority were lightly used in fresh water so there could be a few nuggets to find. I do get depressed when seeing so many boats left to rot, especially as you see people selling identical boats on Craigslist etc. for silly money.
A lot of comments about organization but I bet there's an old dude there that if you asked him for an obscure part off of a '56 Evinrude he could probably walk right out and find it in a matter of minutes 🤣😂
My dad lives in the woods in Georgia. There's a run down can barely tell its open local hardware store with about 30 containers out back outside of town. 2 brothers own it and live there. You can tell them you need the most obscure thing for a house they haven't made in 40 years and they will walk right out to a container and bring it back. Probably in multiple colors for you to choose from
@@gearjammergamer8560 I had an old plumbing shop run by a father and son that you could show them an old obscure 50+ year old plumbing part they would look at it for about 2 seconds ask you how many you need walk back to a dust shelf come back with the part. The father passed years ago and a few years ago the son became seriously ill a few years ago the shop is now closed.
Nope, that place has a revolving door of staff, no one can stand to work there for long, either that or the law catches up with them.
@@gamachoduck I hear ya this place is old school aka Chop Shop.... run by crack heads... and alcoholics...
Lmao my grandpa was like that on his farm. He had like 20 shops filled with farm stuff and tools and if you borrowed one socket and forgot to bring it back he would fuckin know
There is a salvage yard like this on I 85 between Greenville and Anderson, South Carolina. I used to drive by it at least once a month for years and I always wanted to stop and look to see what they had but I never did. As somebody who curb shops pretty frequently I'm of the opinion that there are definitely boats in there that wouldn't cost that much money to get running again if you were somebody that knew what they were doing when it came to repairs.
Got my project boat at a salvage yard in PA. A 1990 Baja 196 ess with an evinrude 175xp. It’s actually in really good shape and I’m currently getting it ready for the season!
good job let me know if you need any parts
Awesome! That’s why these places exist.
Very nice folk there. Bought used sails, blocks, crib boards, a whisker pole, and clutches for my sailboats.
My heart stoped from the thumbnail. A few of those boats were high six figures in their prime. Now just rotting. I usually only see a few abandoned projects on the hard at the marinas I visit. While I understand the necessity and even the convenience of such a place, I'm just speechless. This kinda hurt..
My sentiments exactly cars i understand but seeing boats like this is sad
@@Ken-fisho But if it means another owner can get their boat back on the water for a sensible price with spares, why not. Like those camo V4 Yams, they would sell well in the UK.
your right Chris it does hurt to know what happened to all thoughs boats if i lived in the area I might even try to restor one of them but a ye it still hurts to see that much badly damaged boats
Been there, bought a boat. Easy folks to deal with.
I could never go into a place like this, because I am a " PACK RAT" my nature. If I think I can save it. Its coming home :)
I'm the same
Lol same here! I've spent more money on trying to fix old boats vs buying a nicer one!
@@curtis3653 We have issues! lol
@@leandrewwilliams554 absolutely! And I'm ok with it, it's my wife that isn't!! Haha!
This is how divorce proceedings begin .
This was great, thank you for taking the time to show everyone! I look forward to more of these videos too.
The little sailboat with the cover on it is nice
its still there and nice under the cover come see it
I've never been to a boat salvage yard! Loved looking at all those boats, would love to see more of those videos! We don't have boat yard's where I live.
No never even heard of one
This is awesome. Just subbed.
I hope my Carolina Skiff never ends up in a boat graveyard😀
As a fisherman it warms my heart to see all those dead jet skis
we have a high demand for skiffs
C'mon man, people with jet skis should be able... just kidding BURN THEM ALL
OMG those old Johnsons look so freaking beautiful like a classic car I need one!!!!😍😍😍
It makes me think there has got to be a story behind every one. It makes me wonder how each one wound up in the graveyard. How many lived a useful life, and how many died of neglect. It's sad to see that many boats that stood for hope of fun, relaxation, and enjoyment. So much money thrown away. At 26:47, I saw one with a sliding hard top. I remember seeing those back in the late '60s, early 70's. My first thought, if you go in there in warm weather, you better have a can of wasp spray.
Hurricanes.
All kinds of critters
Yes
Thanks for taking us along. I love digging thru junk yards never know what you might find .
This boat yard defines mental surprise in resilience to mans obsession with personal gratification while in short lived monthly payments
We would love to se some restoration of some of these boats on the channel!
For sure! .
I would imagine that there would be a LOT of very buildable outboards, like the XR6 150hp Merc outboard! They're Def worth buying and rebuilding if needed..
*Personally I would be looking for any Hydrostream boats or other similar go-fast hi-performance type hulls to rebuild!
How about Some electric boat conversions... gimme a hull 👍
@@devonvankraft we have a Duffy electric toon there
there is a 1960s little boat that brakes my heart that its not being restored for an older couple to scoot around in in the yard i see every day
@@devonvankraft no thanks.
I am russian 52 old , i like boating , i have 18 feet metal boat 1989 made in russian military aircraft factory "Sukhoy " ....its very good for crab , oysters , and sea cucumber fishing ....Vladivostok ..
Every buyer dreaming to acquire a boat should watch this. Buying a boat is like getting married; happy when you get one, happiest when you get ride of one.
Did you mean “rid” of one?
Insurance claim might be the way to go. Either sink it, set it on fire or put it inside something else you plan on setting on fire. Other options is to cut it up and say it was stolen, let it come off the hitch on the highway or put it in the back yard and rent it out to a Millennial as a room.
@@Paiadakine Maybe ride one and then rid it. JS.
To think every one of those vessels has a story behind it. Someone's dreams, ambitions, plans....to see them here is very easy to imagine all of those people's dreams ended up like this, whatever the circumstance and reasons.
True dreams gone most likely from storms.......
Many years ago I bought a used Grady it was a 20 center and you know I had more fun working on it in my backyard than I did for the 2 summer seasons in the water. I bought it around 2004 it was a 91.
thats a great story
I wish i could salvage one of those pontoon boats ❤️❤️❤️
Thats funny i work there / i have been sub to you before i worked there / i heard someone was filming that day sorry i missed you
Would you know what that big Chrysler 4 cylinder outboard with the factory blue hood was? It said "Deluxe" on the hood. Chrysler did have a racing 150hp with open headers and racing foot...Same blue top. I am guessing it is the same powerhead w/special pistons and no headers... 🤔 The standard 4 cylinder was max 120hp.
Cheers 🍻
Very satisfying to watch for me. I love restoring boat's. I have done 2 so far.
This place is a gold mine. Wish we had one like it in California. 👍👍🍻
This is a gold mine for those who know what their looking at and how to get it back into shape.
i work there and dream about flipping but i respect the boss not to
@@ErnestLingerfelt one guy on here said that this place isn't a pick a part deal,,that he was there the other day & asked the owner,said the guy was supposed to show him the video before posting but didn't! & The owner said those parts are for boats he flips himself!!!!🤔so this video is miss leading
@@jamesdamrom751 we sell parts and if we sell a boat that people want and running yes we use the parts at hand but all parts are for sale but some boats are to be sold complete / we dont allow people to just go in free for all - get pics and see if its for sale from that boat and then you can get a part / but business profile is changing soon to online sales
@@ErnestLingerfelt thanks for info,,the guy that made the video made it sound like it was a pick a part place! It's still a cool place,,
Wow, I wish we had something like that in my country, would love to renovate one of those boats!
Great video. Looking forward to seeing videos on a McKee Craft or a Boston Whaler that you decide to restore! I'm still looking for a boat, but because of your videos I'm a lot more confident that if I have to get an older boat because of my budget, I'll be able to fix it myself, and do all of the maintenance going forward.
Loved it....watched till end. I love junk yards, been to several automobile yards and love seeing all the cars. Never had the pleasure of finding a boat one.
Cool and sad at the same time. Reminds me of the junkyards I visited as a teenager. All the cars that gave their all so that mine could stay on the road. Thanks for showing us this place. It was an interesting video.
be inspired and build your boat
As a UK sailor who has bought boats in the US on Ebay this site does not surprise me. Most Americans want new stuff. The labour cost of sourcing secondhand parts balances the price of a new part. Different if you do it yourself and the labour is your own and if you are into classic gear. Some of those outboards were 60+ years old!
So many people park a boat and let it rot in the U.S. when all it needs is a carb job and someone to re-sync it. Although if it has an OMC Outdrive I can understand not wanting to resync it.
Love the initiative of bringing something new to the channel, me in particular I would love to see you picking one of these boats from the salvage yard and bringing it back to life up to actual standards. Projects boat are great content and for sure will help with the CZcams metrics but most importantly will help a bunch of people who want to start boating on a low budget...let see what the future brings!!! Good job though...
i have see this video many time before... this is the paradise where we looking for boats spare part... i am from outside america. how to buy sparepart from here..
UNBELIEVABLE!!!! I cant imagine!!! If you want to buy here in Germany a Boat or an Outboard Engine or you need Parts for Vintage OMC Stringer or Cobra Sterndrives you have to rob a Bank first!!Or be the Main Winner in a Lottery.. And there..... Boats, Outbords, Parts.... Ive got Tears in my Eyes!!!!
Wow. I could spend all day exploring that place. Can't understand why they didn't try to put everything in organized rows where people could pull boats out or get to easier. Not telling how many snakes and wasp nests are in there.
agreed
Some rolling down the side of the road into the forest, like they just keep jamming them in!
Junkyard people aren't always the most orgsnized of people.
its all good i haven't seen one snake yet ok but it was at the office / a black snake harmless / i am out there every ay pulling parts/ yes i work there
@@willmcgo8288 yes they are we keep getting fresh ones in but some are less wanted then others
I never bought a brand new boat. But obviously many have. Going through a place like this makes me wonder what changes their owners went through. Most of these were probably sold 3,4, maybe 6 or 7 times. But each new owner.....a big change and a big part of their life. Ends up here. Makes me wonder where my 1985 20' Sea Ox which my wife and I bought in '87, and spent 2 magical summers with is now. We sold her when we began to have children. Now 37 years later, Im looking to buy a boat again.
I used to buy from them all the time! I drove from Douglasville Georgia all the way to Lanier!!!! It was always worth it!!!!
hey men i wish i could have one of those boats i just love them all i love boats how could i get one please let me know my friend
I like looking at old boats. More commenting about the boats would be nice, and less music. Thanks for letting me comment.
When he opened the engine hatch on a jet boat, and the best I could say is "Well, it hasn't been on fire!"
I saw what looked like a skeeter hawk in there it made my heart jump. I bought a brand new skeeter back in the day. Brings back ole memories. Thumbs Up!
The same way I'm fascinated with New York City's Plumbing I'd be fascinated in the way that you could get parts out of that place that weigh 500 pounds
Love your videos brother but be a little more careful when looking thru items in the grave yard. Picked up a carb out of a big box looked at it and tossed it back in. Could have damaged it or one that you hit while tossing. All I’m saying brother, be a little more careful. Again love your channel and look forward to more videos.
I wish I had one of these places down the road, my wife would never see me again. So many projects !
let me know what your looking for i can find it for you
we are hiring good people
I think it will be easier to pick one fancy boat and fix it, since all the parts are in that yard
It just so happens I’m buying a project boat in a day or two. A man has to have a hobby after all. This was perfect timing. I’d love to visit this place. Hopefully I can find one of these places in central Fla where I’m from.
what are you looking for im the yard manager
@@ErnestLingerfelt I have a 1983 Bayliner Contessa 2850 (I believe I haven’t got the title yet). I need the pass through door that goes down inside the cabin, 4 of the square windows that go in the hull, a steering wheel. Those are the main things now. There will be more items to come. I plan on visiting your place up there maybe in the fall. Can’t wait!
@@terryjackybishop8995 send pics and visual measurements to ernie30528@ yahoo.com with phone # so i can ask the team to look for parts
I work with boats and jet ski's since 1988, the end of a boat is the same, will like work there to rebuild old engines or destroy the hulls.
Not a single center console boat in the pile. That says people are willing to invest in restoring a CC boat way before any other style. Thats why I cant find one in decent shape at a decent price. I live 30 minutes from this boat yard too. You saved me a trip.
Buy a junk boat and make it into a cc, to me they are the best fishing platform 👍🙂
Man, I'd have a great time in that yard. I wish there was a yard like that in my area. Nice!
The life of a ship is like the life of a person! The passion and galloping of the past will become memories!
OMG Most of those salvageable boats would still be on the water here in the UK. The price of second hand / project boats has rocketed in the last 2 years!
Yep in Australia too all thanx to Covid 19 go figure 🤔
.. equally here in NZ.
in austria too 😂😅
send this vid around we send overseas / bulk container works
It looks like a garbage dump and not at all a recycling factory 😮😢😢😢. What a huge work to restore the nature !
I bought a boat from this place several years ago. They also have a website you could spend hours on
If there is a boat that I can buy will they move a lot of boats out the way to get to the boat I want to see???
It’s Lanier marine liquidators
beautiful view!
rich country!
there is no such places in a sad country.
/with cry from Russia /
A couple hundred hours of organizing and that place would be as valuable as the lost Dutchmans mine!
More like a couple of hundred "days"!
Too costly to hire the people, they probably take the boats for free and strip and cut up enough hulls for burning at the resource recovery (garbage burning) plant. Fiberglass and wood burns real good. Plenty of both in these old boats. Keeps them going with revenue, by the pound. And whatever they sell in parts. In the beginning of the video you get a glimpse at the nested hulls - looks like they are ready to haul off. This is my opinion - I’m not in the business.
@@lastmanstanding2622 - with a small army of workers.
Lots of money in scrap there,
@@TSemasFl Most of it is worth far more than scrap. Only a dummy takes a cylinderhead for scrap.
The one I liked best was the sailboat that you looked under the cover of with the sail rolled around the mast. ....... What I didn't see any of was a motor life boat from a ship.
Unbelievable. what a place. Only in the USA. I loved it, Eamonn Evans Worcestershire (UK)
I live less than 40 miles away from this place. I’ve been looking forward to rebuilding a jet ski to get my hands wet. Will definitely be going to get one from them
I see a bunch of wasp nest just waiting for someone to open the wrong hatch lol
hahaha as the new owner of an old 1984 boat-me too
That's what I came here to say. I'm amazed at how many things he opened and never got attacked! Here in Alabama i swear they will try to make a nest in the boat while you are using it lol
or snakes ugh
Stop being so scared, ladies.
@@elonmust7470 I am a lady , which I do not consider an insult, and if you look at any of my videos you’ll see exactly how sCaReD I am of ...anything.
Would be good if you could mention what some of these boats sell for, or are some of them free? Very cool!
I don't know how many times I was talking to the monitor " Go left , go right" , "go Back ?" "Ahhhhh?" . Anyway who cares I live in Australia
aussies in wrecking yards , place would be packed with scroungers
Me too first guy here to do this could be big if run right
Where s this place?
Love it, most of these would be still on the water in Thailand, boats rarely die here, second hand price are not cheap.
I found it very interesting. Maybe add information about boats you look at that are interesting, rare, or explain different pros and cons of what different types of boats are good for?
That place is awesome. I got a little tease of a lot of boats I liked in your search for I’m not sure what.
Instead of calling it a Marine Junkyard. Maybe re-dub it as a Nautical Parts Library
Some of these boats only saw fresh water...I would have looked for the windlass ...and noticed some old Yamaha v6 engines..and cowlings to match my 88 antique..This place appears pretty old
Just imagine all those boats once had a person who dreamed of buying it new. All those broken dreams. #DepressingThoughts
I was thinking the same thing, all those boats were someone’s dream boat, shiny and new. Imagine most are storm damaged insurance claims
For some it was school tho
Most of these boats are close to 40 years old, had decades of use and probably several owners. Don’t assume they are all hurricane damage tragedies, these boats met their fate in many different ways. Look for depressing thoughts, you’ll find them
Hurricane victims.
That's a true one it's almost sad too see them just waiting for one last run on the water . I once seen a 16 ft boat next to the dump down in South Florida and I seen it there for about 4 or 5 years and I used to tell myself damn that's a nice Hall tell one day I went and picked it up got papers for it and now she's in the water all the time with me and my kids .
Oh how I would love to get my hands on that yard. The monster of a boat I could build!!
I could only imagine.
it's a shame those places aren't sorted and tagged. there's a gold mine there if one can see it.
need a job we need the help there
The world is turning into giant mounds of plastic and metal parts slowly being reclaimed by the earth. IMO, the future is not storing, sorting and tagging, but using a plasma machine break "trash" down into raw materials and 3d printers to print just what you need when and where you need it. Every one of those boats had at least one owner with hard earned cash and big dreams and one who left it out by the side of the road.
I started wanting a jetski just before covid. I’ve always liked boats but wasn’t hooked. A neighbor has a seadoo gti se so now I want a rxpx 300
Was the word "consumerism" invented in the USA. Have a good day certainly takes on a new meaning. Great video.
Amazing! I see many of these boats and wonder what was wrong with them to end up there. Some of them looked to be in great shape.
Looks like I may have to take a trip to Georgia! I saw a few nice sailboats and I think that I saw a Chriscraft Commander... ON A TRAILER!
let me know what you want and i will make it good and hold it for you to see
Love the Checkmate! Brought back some 80s memories.
I reckon I could put down a solid weekend walking through that easily, 😆
i do it every day working there
Need a full inboard engine cover. One caught my eye that may work. I have a 1985 correct craft ski nautique
I would guess a lot of these boats wound up here due to hurricane damage and insurance payoffs.
Honestly from the experience of people who know how to live!!!! We need more people to properly get anyone involved in keeping maintance on boats and other craft that help keep the fun alive so we can all have a quality as we age and not get old! Thiers so much value with those boats and also people need parts! As in they need actual parts!!!!
Great find!! I live in Georgia and had NO idea such a place existed. Looked like the sail boat in the last few minutes looked interesting.... wonder if it is still there...
Amazing amount of work put in parting this stuff out. It’s never going to be sold.
At the 10:50 mark, on the the cabin cruiser, those engines looked to be the Ford 427 FE marine versions. Very desirable in a marine or automotive world. Would love to get those. The McKee looks like it could be a nice tender for bigger boats. I didnt get into those Seadoo jet boats when new. Mainly, their prices were too close to getting a 17 ft runabout. But, now I see they could be really fun.
Used to go to Michigan a lot and they have tons of them up there I could tell you exactly where at this time but I love going to them I've redone three old Chris crafts and it's hard to find parts sometimes and sometimes it was before the internet that I was looking for different things loved the video great.
I got to about nine minutes worth. The amount of waste is overwhelming to say the least. How could this place ever be cleaned up if it needed to? It's almost a Eco-disaster in the making. At least now I think I know where to find a short shaft lower unit for the Merc "6" tower-of-power I need.
On the other hand, recycling parts to give them a 2nd life is very eco friendly.
You werent kidding! I spaced out a bit but i saw at least two of the same exact boat i just got.
We got a place kind of like that over in St Petersburg called “Dons Boat Salvage” its a dangerous place to go on payday
Where is it located, I’d like to check it out .

How about a sailboat salvage yard? There are lots of sailers that DIY their own repairs, so sources for materials would be very helpful. Thanks for the video and for your engine maintenance tips too.
They were once someone’s pride and joy... Now they rest in pieces.
Not in todays disposable society.
they are waiting for new owners to do pride and joy and keep them alive / i work here and its like the land of misfit toys
Bought my first boat a few months ago. I cannot believe how many low hour boats you go look at that were just left outside to rot. Spend all that money for a new boat and just leave it outside for 20 years to be a pond
@@gearjammergamer8560 Same deal with most of those luxury boats you see moored, low hours and just rotting away.
I loved watching the video I'd like going to junk yards since I was a kid,
I wish they had more vintage small outboards
Getting one from there to restore as a project would be neat.
I'm sure there are wasps galore in the summer. Majority of those boats are plywood core. Didn't see many OMC sterndrives or much sterndrive parts there only saw 3 electric lower gear cases in the video. That area is big on outboards.
That was incredible, didn't know such a place like that existed.
