    0:58 There is a fine line, between "cool" and "junk".

      It all seems like cool junk to me. But I understand what you mean

      Somewhere in all that junk, a treasure awaits the right man.

    I love it I could spend weeks in there take a sleeping bag and a pack and stay in a different boat every night thinking about the adventures that were had on that boat

    That place definitely has a lot of what a person needs for just about anything. Stay safe out there.

    Looking at all those goodies makes me dream. But I wonder what is it about the big, nice boats that makes them so damaged or devaluated that they.... Ahhh, the combined profit on all the parts sales exceeds the likely profit on whatever the whole boat would net in it's ages and worn state. Sounds like just the right price for me.
    I wonder when we will see a Transformer made of just outboards. Guess he would just be named Johnson.

    • @DraysWorld
      @DraysWorld  2 роки тому

      Johnson sounds right. A boat transformer would be pretty cool.

    Any similar yards like Don's within Florida?

  • @keepinganopenmind8216
    @keepinganopenmind8216 2 роки тому +4

    I've never been in any salvage yard that doesn't sell their crap higher then you can buy a new one... of close enough to make the used one worthless..

    • @DraysWorld
      @DraysWorld  2 роки тому +2

      The prices at Don’s are great! I go there to find parts and pieces for all sorts of projects. A fraction of the price of buying a new. But I have been to some salvage yards that are more expensive for sure. This isn’t one of them. Thanks for watching

    I always wonder what's the number one reason a boat ends up in a a place like Don's .

  • @cartmanrlsusall
    @cartmanrlsusall Рік тому +1

    That much inventory shows the prices are to high all those outboards in a pile is just a waste

      I can see that. If they only had a few thousand old dusty bras hanging from the ceiling‘s it would look pretty much the same

    Hello. How much have you paid for this Bundle of used Parts??

  • @ericneering6357
    @ericneering6357 2 роки тому +1

    What are their prices you know are they high or low or are they got all that stuff because they’re asking full price and not you know resellvaged price

    • @DraysWorld
      @DraysWorld  2 роки тому +1

      Their prices are awesome. They buy items from you for a fair price or exchange for other items. You cannot beat the deals here, if you can find what you’re looking for that is. The place is so big you can easily get lost exploring. Thanks for watching!
