anyone donate an old boat for tax write off

Recommended Posts

Got an old boat that I inherited, 1968 sears runabout.  needs floors.  has a solid mercury inline 6, 2 stroke.  the tower 'O power.  Im guessing all the value is in the motor and trailer.

has anyone donated a boat to any of these car/boat/trailer donation centers?  Some seem more like scams then anything, give us you boat, we sell it and get back to you with what it auctioned for, and then value it. 

Not sure its worth much, but I will take the tax write off.

I believe you need to have a valid title and current registration (or non-op). You will get paperwork from the agency after the boat sells, and you will be able to write-off that amount. I bought an aluminum Valco this way about 2 years ago.

The boat I bought came from https://www.itsdonated.com/

Seller seemed happy. I believe they came out and took pictures of the boat, and posted them on eBay. It was up to the seller to coordinate pickup.

At the end of the day, pick the charity based on what you want to support. Good luck!
