You could take the keel off and use it as a flower box in the front yard or as a wading pool for the kids in the back yard...

Before you give it away list all parts for sale, sell the hardware, mast etc and scrap the keel. Saws-All and a dumpster works for the rest. I bought a Boch Saw's All from Lowes for about $100; buy the right blades and all will go well. I use it for many differant tasks on the new boat I'm rebuilding.

I bought my wife a sawzall for Mother's day last year then borrowed it to cut up the E scow in the back yard. She was very happy with the gift!

Just asking, what's wrong with taking her out to sea? If you saw it up and put it in the dumpster, some municipalities will then truck it to a barge, tow it and the rest of the trash out to sea and then dump it, won't they?

I'm putting in yet another vote. If you part it out please let us know and post the list of items. Who knows you might end up making enough money to buy the sawzall to finish the job

By the way, my question was academic. I hate to see a good boat go to waste. I guess it the same thing for the part, if it has to be that way.

Personally I don't either but if it's gonna cost more to fix then it would to buy a new one then there's not much sense in keeping it. It becomes a case where the sum of it's parts is greater than the whole. There might be someone out there who has bunches of money and time and wants to rebuild it just because they can. Otherwise it would better be served putting the usable parts back into service. Think of it as donating organs

I have had and currently own a SJ24 if keel wobble is the only thing wrongs it is an easy and cheap fix just a lot of dirty work. Most SJ24 have had this repair at some point in their life. Go to the Yahoo user group they will help you or take the boat off your hands.
