I also believe that people think; "Hey, it's a boat and waterproof".

Too bad, that's a nice bass boat. No cowling on the motor?
Occoquan park. They hauled several away which were derelict and delinquent but someone still pays to store these junk boats.
I did hear mention of a widow who still pays to store her husband's boat. Not sure if its one of these.
I rember when they put up the bayliner in 2011 young family, haven't seen them since. It just rots away.
I watched our next door neighbor that I sold my SeaDoo too a few years back let it go to hell in no time. When I sold it to him, I took it over and put it on his lift, covered, cleaned waxed in perfect shape. They used it that weekend and that was the last time it was ever covered, it sat there uncovered all winter, not winterized. Next spring he commented that it would not start - imagine that. They were nice people, but he admitted that he just didn't have the time or care to take care of his things, his plan was to just buy a new one when the old one broke - they would leave the house on Sunday, boats uncovered, stuff all over the dock like they were just going in for lunch. Show up a week or two later and start using things. Brand new pontoon boat sat in the water, uncovered, for a year even though had a brand new lift installed with it - you can imagine what it looked like after a year. Funny thing is he was in the car business - was always complaining that his guys weren't keeping his car clean enough - every one of his cars looked like it just rolled off the showroom. Go figure. When we sold the house and were moving stuff out, he asked about buying my SeaRay, I probably could have gotten a good price from him and moved on to another boat, but I just couldn't do it knowing where that boat would end up. That's how my little 18' boat ended up in dry storage on Lake Norman.
You can walk around any marina and there are boats like that - they just sit, many of them outside, not covered and just rot away. I can't do that, first, I don't have the $$ to replace a boat or car every few years because I don't take care of them, plus that's just me, I like to take care of things, I guess some people would call me a little crazy, but that's ok.
