Donating a Boat

dpg · 03-03-2009, 12:59 PM

Hi - Thinking about possibly donating a boat this year to a qualifying charity (tax deduction), anybody ever had any experience doing this? It's a 19 footer and is 22 years old. For it's age it looks and runs fine I just am not interested in dealing with the hassle of listing and trying to sell it. I'm sure a boat that age would not be the hottest seller and I'm not always at the lake to meet with people and let them look at it. Basically I don't feel like dealing with it and figure a donation would be just as easy - well easier... Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.
