Somehow overnight (who knows how long its been out there) this boat hull washed ashore and ended up stuck. Technically can I keep it? ie: salvage rights. how does this work if there was a boat at sea that has no occupants and ends up washing ashore, can you claim salvage rights? I can fix it up, put some paint on it and have a go at it. Nothing like a free boat in the morning.
Nothing, it was just the hull no motor,electronics nothing just the fiberglass hull. No info on it like serial number or boat registration/tag label.
I found a small boat floating by my house. There were no reg or hull numbers I could find. I put a lost and found ad (for free!) in my local paper and said something like "Found small boat near XX..." No response so I cleaned it up and still use it. I saved the ad for proof. AFAIK I get to keep the boat.
