grantmc 59 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Some months back there was a discussion here about what can be done with old glass boats that are past their use by date. I came across a story about a couple that wanted a cellar and they decided that burying a boat would be a cheap way to achieve a cellar. The boat selected was 29 feet. It seems to have been a reject from a boat building factory as still didn’t have all the holes cut for ports, prop etc. They said that the total cost of the project was a little less than $700.

JK 28 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 They could go down to the "cellar" & pretend they were quietly at anchor somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,214 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 hmm does not look properly drained. if it rains hard, the "boat" is likely to float out of the ground!! I guess they thought it would give them an easy solution to a dry cellar?? Link to post Share on other sites
The big T 40 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 In Welcome Bay Tauranga is, or was, a large Gin Palace that had been an insurance write off but patched up and put in a pond on a farm. Used for homestays and looked great. Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 hmm does not look properly drained. if it rains hard, the "boat" is likely to float out of the ground!! I guess they thought it would give them an easy solution to a dry cellar?? Wouldn't be a hard problem to solve IT, just put a hydro static valve in the bottom to relieve any pressure. Same as in a swimming pool. Link to post Share on other sites
