Would You Like A Free Boat - You'll Find Them In My Neighborhood

- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Who says there is no such thing as something for nothing? In my neighborhood you're as likely to see a boat floating around worth potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars as you are to see gators. My understanding is that according to maritime law, anyone can just take the darn things home. This boat is probably a gift from hurricanes, and has probably been stripped... but still... If you don't want a free boat, maybe you want something BETTER Than Free!

you talk too much about other things as opposed to where you can find free or almost free boats, Thanks,

Rick Dorr who cares he’s still telling us how to get a free boat
Shrimp Janina, shrimp scampi, shrimp tacos, shrimp scallopini, shrimp....
Beware , if you claim the boat I believe you will become responsible for all the liens against it . You may get a not so free boat beat to shit , full of water , worthless and a 100,000 dollar loan against it . You can even be on the hook for outstanding dock-age, storage fees and environmental damage if you claim it .
Trust me , if there was value the insurance co , a salvage company or owner would have grabbed it already. It's sitting there for a reason.
this is true
good point
there is an old saying about owning a boat....you are happy the day you got a boat, and happier the day you get rid of it.
faircompetition1 I brought 7 boasts to my property an contacted the owners and the insurance companies paid me as low as $600 to as much as $6800 for the boats. One was broken pretty bad they just gave me a salvage title for it
I have 5 broats
This is a ~1988 42' Princess Yacht. They go for 80k to 110k in excellent condition.
As it turns out, I acquired that boat 5 years ago via a trade, it's a 46' 1987 SeaRay Sport Fish
Not in Florida, they have title laws. You have to find the owner and get them to sign the title over otherwise its theft.
Claiming an Abandoned Vessel in Florida
Florida has "no salvage laws" giving the finder of an abandoned vessel rights of ownership. Florida is a "title state", thereby requiring a transfer of vessel title from owner to purchaser in order to obtain legal ownership. A person who finds an abandoned vessel and who wants to make claim to it must comply with Section 705.103, Florida Statutes. This will allow for a person to make claim to the property and make application for title transfer into his name.
You actually missed the "No" between "vessel rights"
Should read "giving the finder of an abandoned vessel NO rights of ownership".
Janet not if its sitting there longer than 2 years i know i live in brevard county by sebastian
Janet if the insurance company paid out on the boat then it now belongs to the insurance company. no such thing as free or salvage on vessels lost due to a storm. For sure someone owns that vessel and like you said -- it is theft, in fact GRAND theft.
Not only theft but responsibility for damages to the boat, ecology and any other vesel damaged by it in your possession.
Wow. The BAD information found here is staggering!
TheMidnightrdr ok well you do a better one since you know everything.
Looks just like my old boat
Excited for the observation tower
I'm in Arkansas and I know it didn't float all the way to Florida
You're actually wrong Willie. Florida is a title state which means even if the boat sinks it still legally belongs to the owner and another individual CAN NOT claim salvage on it.
I am pretty sure, the owner has to pay the recovery fee and storage fees should you raise it and dry dock it. You have to file a claim against the owner. Generally, the owner will lose the boat to you for not paying the recovery fee, it is a drawn out process.
Gaming With ViperZeroOne or the insurance company if they pay out on the vessel. but for sure it is not free. LOL
"I've heard boats are a hole in the water that you throw money into.....But I plan on getting one soon" Sir, I have a hole on dry ground your more than welcome to throw money into.
It's ironic that law enforcement will post a note to the owner of a boat that the owner may actually be looking for themselves. Why can't law enforcement just punch in the numbers from the boat and find out who the owner is and contact them?
I sold a boat in California that sank soon afterwards. For some unknown reason, even though I had submitted all the paperwork indicating that I no longer owned the boat, the sheriff called me to find out if I still owned the boat. They wanted to slap a hefty fine of around $25k on me for polluting a public waterway. In California, that red notice on the side of the boat gives anyone who wants it the date when they can come pick it up and file a lost title at the dmv. Florida is stupid not to let people do the same thing. There are plenty of people who would take it and live on it, but then some people in Florida probably don't like that idea either.
Florida has these laws to prevent crime. Yep, that simple.
Pretty easy to intentionally flounder someone's boat and claim it, were it legal. Not to mention the storms un-mooring boats. With that said, Florida does have a system to claim an unclaimed boat, just takes a little more time and some money.
Uuummmm.. under the new law you have to move....we don't like it when people make us do our jobs.
The Man behind the green curtain has spoken.
There was a sail boat "abandoned/ wrecked"? in Mexico, I contacted the US coast guard, they weren't interested nor wanted to help, they just like to fine people. The DMV would not help with identifying the owner, another person offered to track the owner through a DMV pay service, and was given useless shit for the fee. Who knows who died, but the boat was ratted until nothing was left. USA government offices don't care about the people or their possessions, just the money they can screw from them.
Florida is a Title State - you have to have a title transfer from owner. Taking the boat otherwise could be considered Grand Larceny.
Ignorance and foolishness.
Since Florida does not have a salvage maritime law picking up a boat that you do not have a title to is theft.
I didn't realize that I was mad until after the video.
Boat stands for: Break Out Another Thou$and
moncorp1 😂 true
moncorp1 that is what my Dad said he works on boats
Could as easily mean Tenthousand, depends on the depth of the waterline one is playing in. LoL.
I was annoyed to hell listening to u ramble
Under some conditions, you may be able to work a deal with insurance agencies. All one needs to do is go to the tax collection agency and it is public information. Take Vin # and or registration # to management of fish and wildlife. Talk to sheriff department as well.

to the POINT!!!! people don't care where you hang out or what you do. Get to the Point!!!
Florida law states you cant just take the boat. You have to have a title from the owner and it has to transfer of ownership if you take the boat you can get charged with theft and go to prison and get fined. Check your laws
will you just get to the point? my god man
Not no wear near a million dollar boat man maybe around $17,000-$70,000 nota millon dollars thats not mega yaght its just a cabin cruiser/live aboard i own i 1986 carver 3207 aft cabin and a 1983 carver 3607 aft cabin got them one was 25,000 and the other was 15,000 but besides that hope you got your boat man
Ashton Harvey, please tell me English isn't your first language, or have you suffered an American so called "education"
Million new, not used.
This boat does not even come close to a million new, 200k at the most.
There's my boat
Hes talking new prices and your talking used lol. I find it hard to believe that someone with your spelling and grammar skills has a boat at all. Could use some punctuation in that paragraph.
Florida is a title state. no you cannot just take them. the state can repo them for being abandoned, but we cannot just take them without the owner signing the title over
its a crime, called theft to take an abandoned boat in Florida. you should research the Florida laws before you consider doing this.
Poco loco. Get real
😮. ! Sounds like the life ! Good luck !!
We all have our dreams and if you can get them to become reality then go for it ! I know my dream is to have a house on a lake in deep northern Maine with not to many people around ! I think that one thing that we have from being an American is to at least try to make dreams come true !
There are no free boats in FLORIDA. IT is a title state. This means if you dont have the title you will be charged with piracy and find yourself in court. But lets say you get a hold of title owner. You will pay for salvage and fees then if you fix it up you pay taxes on value just like if you bought it.
I keep expecting him to start talking about how many ways to cook a shrimp.
And why is that?
@@AirstripBum Bubba Gump shrimp
Where I am from here in washington state I pick up sunk boats for about 100$ the insurance company's take care of the liens damages caused by the boat etc and then get auctioned off im a certified marine tech and buy and sell a tow company and or. Salvage company will take possesion of the boat charge the insurance or owner then it will get auctioned off befor you can just take it .
Trust me. If it was that easy. You would not see all those boats....
I hearby offer 50,000,000 for the boat... if you throw in a lifejacket, I'll give you 20,000,000 more!
You do know that you inherit every debt this boat has, and it'll cost you to get the boat, too. You also have to contact the owner or it's a possible felony (grand theft) to try to salvage it.
This is why you inspire me... only things that floats up on our beaches are empty coke bottles! I like it when you spoke about the cost of the boat and your dreams of building the house, then switch off because you've got to work to have those things!! Work is just in our bones!
If it's 12 miles out yes u can claim an abandoned vessel of any size but read the federal laws on this first oh take a boat in Florida waters is five years in raiford trust me I know
Dude i don't care where you work or what kind of house you are going to build. Just tell me where i can get free stuff.
That was a 70,000 boat lol. Not millions lol
I know a guy like you who says, "Long story short...", after 20 minutes into the story.
LOL
someone owns that boat, you can't just take it. it is about a 36 foot boat and not worth
no where near a million.
Look up the numbers on the boat and mail a certified letter to the owner of the boat. If the letter comes back unresponded to and not opened you just bring that to the motor vehicle department and you can register it under your name. Or sometimes people will open the letter sign it and mail it back to you. I've got many trailers this way you find an old abandoned trailer and you just mail a letter to the previous owner and a lot of times the letter will just come back undelivered after that it's yours
yea sure ...touch boat..go to jail
It's tragic how many boats are abandoned but can not be salvaged because of the title laws in Florida. What kills me is the county's complain about the abandoned boats but do nothing about the salvage laws. They would be taken away by people who want them. We can't have that now can we?
It has a red tag... that doesn't mean its FREE or you can claim it.... That just means that the coat guard logged that boat as a drifter and all damage is at the owner's expense.. If you claim it you will have to pay ANY damage that boat has done at drift to ANY ONES BOAT.... Once this boat is taken by the state then its noted it can be SOLD... and your clear of BS fee's or damage..
There are abandoned boats everywhere in every state...Take a walk around any boatyard and you will see many derelict hulks...in various stages of dis-repair...People get tired of them...many can be had just by asking. No monies need exchanged.
that's not a million-dollar boat 35 to 50 k brand new that one pulled off the ground re fiberglass repolish insides cabinets all redone I can get 20K out of it but to drive from Tallahassee all the way to Tampa to get it with a trailer and another truck with a boat because I'm going to have to tow it to the nearest dock.. do you get where I'm going with this? best thing to damn notice people can do take it out 5 miles use some Electric sawzalls cut the foam out of it punch some holes in the bottom and sink the damn boat!! scrap what you can
BEFORE YOU TOUCH ANY BOAT THAT IS ABANDONED YOU NEED TO TAKE OWNERSHIP FROM THE OWNER IF YOU TOW THAT BOAT AS SOON AS YOU TIE UP TO IT AND START TOWING ITS GRAND THEFT !!! BECAREFUL DONT DO IT !!!
they're not free, to acquire the craft, You must first obtain the title to the craft. It's the law in Florida. other wise you take a boat you now are a thief, no free bee's, More over buyer beware, when seeking the title for an abandon water craft, & you get the title to it, also any fines attached to the craft now becomes your fines. they aren't free.
cant you just haul it out of the water and salvage it? The motor has got to be worth something like 30k. Plus all the electronics.
no such thing as free. The insurance company more than likely paid the owner. It now technically belongs to the insurance company. once you retrieve the numbers off the side of the boat which are clearly visible you would report it to the state wildlife and fisheries, they in turn would give you the name of the owner. The owner in turn would tell you he was paid off already and put you in contact with his insurance company who in turn would tell you how much you need to pay them for the boat. what you can receive is a finder's fee paid for by the insurance company. Once they retrieve the boat they will have it looked over by a marine surveyor who will tell them the value of the vessel. Then offer it for sale. Been there -- done that more than once.
That is maybe a 32 Footer not a 40-50, it is no where even close to a Million Dollar Boat and I strongly suggest not buying a boat until you learn a whole lot more about them.
Would I like a free way of draining my bank account and a future of constant problems and stress? Wow that’s sounds to good to be true😆
Willie, please do your homework before posting a video about abandoned boats. There is a lot to finding, fixing and getting an abandoned boat. As for maritime law, it depends where an abandoned boat is located at and or what jurisdiction or county or state it is located in. I enjoyed your video about your town but your video was supposed to be about " Would You Like A Free Boat " As it turned out, I would not come to your town to find a free boat because I have not done any research about the free boats in your town. Other than that, thanks for the video. From the looks of the boat in your video, it will take at least $10,000 to properly renovate the exterior of that boat. It is anybodys guess how much the renovation would cost to do the interior.
does the state eventually tow them and auction them like cars that are left on the side of the road?
I don't know, but will try to find out.
I would like to know does this story has to do with the boat Are you just telling your Your business If you are is sound like a commercial and I'm gonna delete you
in FLA you have to title in in your name find owner and have owner title in your name and all release all responsibility to you before can privately salvage it and you are responsible for any state epa fines owed on boat for eviromental damages then you still have cost of repairs to get sea worthy , new motor out drive etc so never free you could spend more money than vessel even worth aft repairs
I'm sorry, but you have no idea the cost of the vessel and you certainly don't know what you're talking about.
Nope, you can't just take one. You can get charged with grand theft by messing with it if you don't have a CONTRACT with the owner.
Florida is getting very strict on derelict vessels, owners can face up to years in prison
Florida is a title State. You cannot just take an abandoned boat and claim ownership. It's a little more complicated
They are not free!
You have to contact the insurance company and owner.
If its insurance claim you have to buy it from the insurance company.
If no claim then you have to buy it from the owner.
If you dont then its theft!
nothing is for free. that was the mans boat that was in this video. he was trying to get you to pick up his beat down boat. so you get the 100k fine .
yeah don't take abandoned boats... unless it's a john boat or a canoe without a registration. not worth anything you intend to do with it otherwise.
Grand larceny if you don't get a transfer of title (in the state of Florida)
If you take that boat thats called grand theft and jail time is definite.
dont care its free, old shit, to me its worthless, and i live in chicago
Fla is a title state, you do not own anything unless you have a title
This guy says he lives in hurricane country complains about abandoned boats due to said hurricanes... The say he wants to buy a boat after he builds a house on the water in hurricane country... need I say more...
Despite it being hurricane country, it's one of the most beautiful places that I've ever been, and I've traveled to every state in the U.S. including Alaska and Hawaii, and to more than 61 different country. I fly cargo aircraft for the USAF for more than 20 years, and when it came time to retire, I chose this part of Florida.
ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE FAR REACHES OF SPECTACULAR AMAZING DEEP CATACLYSMIC TIME TRAVEL COMPELS ETC ETC BLAH TO DA BLAH..... 2HRS LATER....OH YEAH THEIRS A BOAT STUCK IN THE MUD......
Hi Willie so if I come down to fla I can pick up a fairly decent abandoned boat per say,ive read the laws but do I have to pay any liens is what im asking,in connecting with the previous boat owners,sounds like a lot of red tape to get a abandoned boat,ha
Lonnie Curtis yes you have to in Florida treat it just like someone signing over there car. you take all the responsibility of fixing it up, responsible for any fuel leaks that may have caused environmental damage etc etc and you have to track the person down who owns it to even have him agree to sign it over for you. And most the time the owners don't have any idea where there boat went. Lol
Lonnie Curtis not on your life -- it is theft.
I'll gladly get that boat, if it's still available please let me know. thanks
I wish it could be that simple to pick up the boat and claim it as your own but unfortunately it's considered Grand Theft
sounds like a fast talking forest
Forrest Gump on an illegal substance.
When you say Boat free is never free .
Some people have more money then brains
A Flucking life story...
that is only 32 foot not 48 foot and you can buy one of those brand new for under $100,000 and if you want an actually 48 foot boat brand new it would set you back $1.5 million just to let you know because you are so wrong and you cant just come and take that 32 foot boat if it isn't yours or you haven't been given permission by the water ways!
Get a live aboard instead of a house.
You should be a radio DJ Gift to talk
Lmao that boat was not over 1 million.
It's grand theft if you touch it
Not in FLA, it's a title state. You will be charged with grand theft. Always check the salvage laws first. Even if you get this boat with a title remember environmental charges are crazy high. Might cost you more than if you bought three new boats. Look into it and see for yourself. Best to just take a picture and walk away. I would hate to see someone get caught in the middle of a legal battle that the owner is responsible for.
Sorry new that boat is not a million
it's true
boat like this, used, costs 90.000 000$
Dude!!! Get to the point
You have to file a claim with the Florida Fish & Wildlife commission. They'll ask you to complete a form and pay a fee ($300-500 I've heard) to research the original owner and contact him/her. After 3-6 months, they MAY allow you to claim title if the owner cannot be located or if the owner voluntarily relinquishes title. The FFW has a website with a map that lists all the abandoned boats identified by FFW, various Florida county Sherrif's offices, and the USCG in the State. However, as others have said, YOU CANNOT simply take possession of an abandoned vessel (aka "boat").
Claiming an Abandoned Vessel in Florida. ... Florida is a title state, thereby requiring a transfer of vessel title from owner to purchaser in order to obtain legal ownership. A person who finds an abandoned vessel and who wants to make claim to it must comply with Section 705.103, Florida Statutes. The first requirement is to report it to a law enforcement agency. The law enforcement agency will collect a fee for beginning an investigation, conduct an investigation under Section 705.103, Florida Statutes, and determine the owner of the vessel. If the vessel is not claimed in the process of the investigation, the law enforcement agency may transfer it to the finder with a bill of sale and evidence of the investigation. The finder would then make application to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) to have the title put into his name. The investigation process usually takes between 45 days to 120 days or longer. The cost associated with the investigation is usually between $300 and $600. The costs may be more or less than this depending on the investigation requirements. Once title has been transferred into your name, you become legally responsible for the vessel. If its condition were to become derelict, then you would be held responsible. Derelict vessel owners can face both civil and criminal penalties which may include jail.
Better look up your local Florida laws about salvaging boats.
Florida is a title state.
You need to have title to the boat BEFORE you do anything with it.
It is considered trespassing and/ or theft of property if over $5000.00 it is a felony to even mess with somebody else's property.
If you were in another state's territory who has an active maritime law in effect then you could claim it after "salvaging" it for the cost of salvaging it OR charge the salvage costs back to the original owners it was titled to .
Then once it IS titled to you , YOU are then responsible for all fuel and oil that has leaked out of it causing an environmental hazard and cleanup.
Yup , YOU foot the bill for all that also ,possibly running into the MILLIONS of dollars.
Basically don't mess with it , it is NOT worth it.
Florida is a title state. If you claim an abandoned boat you can be charged with grand theft. This even applies if the boat is sunk and you try to raise it. You have to title it first before you can move or claim the abandoned boat. Plus once you title it you are then responsible for all liabilities association with the boat, including any environmental hazards from leaking fuel or oil.
just a little bit more added info for y'all if anyone didn't know yet. It is against the law to claim the boat or just pull up and tow it away and keep it as yours in Florida. There is a no Salvage law or something like that it's called to where you actually have to get it titled and track down the owner have them sign it over to you pay the fee blah blah blah taxes all that good stuff then it's your boat if they agree to sign it over to you. And yes correct if you do all that you are responsible for any damage that it had caused and Or leans, payments etc. butt in Maine and New England and some other places on the Pacific coast as well I don't know if it's organ or what. BUT yes. there in other parts of the country as well if you find a sunken vessel or anything at all. IT could be a bag of gold to a 60-foot luxury yacht. You can claim it but in Florida.... NO Bueno 👎
That is a nice boat, why don't you register it yourself! I would if I could! I have a smaller boat in Puerto Banus Spain and that boat cleaned up would be fantastic to have! Keep that dream or take the boat, but make sure you can afford to properly clean up and full service as I'm sure that would be $3,000, but definitely worth it! Andy
My estimation is that the insurance companies have paid out on thease boats claimed lost at sea, act of God storm etc. These boats suffer serious damage under the water line and become worth less than the recovery and repair. The insurance companies actually own most of thease boats but report them as lost at sea. Owner doesn't care he's rich and on his new boat. Thus you have abandoned boats. Recovery takes more that a tow truck to the auction lot. People don't understand too boat depreciation is a factor. Big and pretty doesn't mean a million always in the boat world. Gotta love em though!!
In the State of Florida Maritime Salvage laws do not apply. Boats are registered, And if a boat is removed without the owner's permission That theft Also on a boat, cruiser, yacht or other valued above 5000$ it's Grand theft. Something for you to think about before suggesting to your viewers to go claim derelict vessels.
The owner probably filed an insurance claim for the loss of the boat. If they recover it they may get hit with a fraud charge. That being said they cant sign over the title of a boat they claimed was lost/destroyed. This is the problem with these boats especially after a hurricane or accident.
That boat was never worth more than 1 million. Also, you can't just take an abandoned boat since it still technically belongs to someone else. Taking it would be theft. The owner has to officially give away the title to that boat. Without having the title it is illegal salvage.
Better think again
what a waste
Florida laws are all I'm hearing about but honestly its not like they are going to check for an abandon boat and if you drag it far enough away the laws change...
You really can drag something out and talk alot about nothing. Talk about the boat,how someone can get the boat. That's all we care about.
Willie Legal Services
Willie Crawford, Honestly, I am looking for a boat like the boat in your video or even better a sailboat. I can get a trailer and I know how to repair them as I used to do it for a city government. How would I go about applying for ownership of an abandoned boat like that down there?
if i remember correctly florida is a title state. so in order to take possession you would need to have a title signed over. I would research this before taking the boat. once you take ownership you take on all liability that comes with it. if the boat caused damage or spilled fuel it's on you. Read up on salvage laws for your area don't listen to internet maritime law myths
So much shit for this guy... Seriously he's just trying to help
yeah if you just tow it off and you do not have title to it, it is considered theft. And depending on the value it could be grand theft... you do not want to mess with that...
Who the hell would leave a boat behind? Ever heard of insurance? why leave a million dollar boat behind?
