    We kept our '79 Pearson 35 sloop alive and well for years shopping at Don's. But, you can't find Don's in Tampa. I won't say where. It's too good a secret. Thanks for keeping it a secret.

    A lot of the stuff looks undisturbed for years. There is a lot of value in the scrap metal, rather than hold it for an off-street sale. Certainly an interesting place. Cheers

      I’ve heard about that place and I was wondering the same thing as soon as that guy said 260 for that anchor I knew right away. This guy is outrageous on his prices. I’m sure I’d love to go there and walk around and look, but his prices are probably way too crazyfor the drive I’m up here in Orlando
