In New England there are services to do this. I want to say it starts at about $2000

Ya actually a lot of those “donate a car” places will take a boat too, depending on how difficult the situation is to get it out (is it on a trailer?) you might be able to donate it and if so the donation people will pick it up. Boats are a little trickier than cars though

this is good advice. especially If op has the paperwork(reg/title especially) for it it's worth something to someone. CL, fb, offerup etc

I'm sorry for you and your grandmother's loss...
If you really want to get rid of it cheap. Take the cover off, give it a cleaning and take a bunch of photos. Find out all you can about the make and model and then post it for sale or an add for a free boat and trailer. My guess is that the boat may have a good reputation. It may be why your grandfather decided he wanted to restore it. Someone else may feel the same way!
You could even post it up here to see if anyone knows anything about it. Some boats have support groups where you'd get good advice and maybe an interested party.

I think season tickets are already like 30% sold out.

Tow it to Ocean State Auto Repair in Johnston and have the guys there give you a second opinion. I was in a similar situation and ended up keeping the car.

There are hispanic communities that are bigger into baseball than soccer. Its a shame to lose the Pawsox just to turn around spend money on this. Then claim its in the name of affordable housing.

Next we need a guide for how to turn to enter a busy road when there is a center lane available

The double right turn onto the highways on Francis St at Providence Place is a constant near accident as people can't comprehend this

Sorry, it's too hard to make that tight of a turn when one of my hands is clutching my fourth nip of the morning

This was a pre-air conditioning thing. You either grilled outside or used the range in the basement.

You can donate it to charity for a tax write-off. It’s super easy, they will come pick it up (even if it’s completely dead) and do the rest, and send you a receipt in the mail. It helps a cause you care about, but the receipt you receive will be for a fair amount less than you might expect.
As far as “bang for your buck” goes. If it’s truly a parts car, either put it up on FB/Craigslist or call around to some junkyards & small autofix places to get some numbers. You’ll have to do a little more work here but who knows maybe someone will want to pay for it.
You could try getting it to a Saturn dealership to see if they’d trade it in for any value at all toward a new/used vehicle but you’d have to get it to drive onto the lot for that.

Rhode Island FC? Wow what a missed opportunity. The little states, the clamcakes, the rhody reds, the shoreliners, the clamdiggers, the rhode ragers, buddy’s babies, the pothole dodgers, I could go on!

I misread “desert” as “dessert” and all I though was Gregg’s

When I was a kid, many of my Portuguese friends' homes had essentially a working kitchen and family room in the basement. The kitchen, living room and dining room on the main level featured glistening appliances, furniture and decorations, and were reserved for when special guests came over. Otherwise, family life took place in the basement.

Because the basement was made to be a self contained apartment, either for extended family living down there or did it to be rented out. My grandfather finished his with two bedrooms, a living room, bathroom, closets, a private entrance, etc.

I'm looking at the same exact setup. I'd be interested in hearing about your thoughts on quality and pricing. I've gotten a few quotes from several companies and the prices are astronomical.

The junk guys don't tend to care about the title. They give a couple bucks and haul it away.
