#2 Seems to me that a gallon (or Liter if you want to destroy a metric-based boat) of gas in a suitable container is about all the 'facilities' you need. That and a lack of rain to get the conflagration going. But with government being government, there is always a little pork that needs spreading I guess.......

#3 Well, in order to prevent damage to the enviroment you'lll have to burn those boats in a sealed chamber with a scrubber stack. Should only set you back a few hundred million.

#5 Maybe I'm missing something here.
Why not seize them and auction them off?

#6 Usually they are POS and worthless. All you need to get rid of them is a thick concrete slab and a large crane and a heavy weight. Burn the splinters.

#7 Or grind 'em up and feed the pieces into a boiler with a stoker. But if it's fiberglass, that would be nasty. How 'bout serving the artificial reef market. More environmentally friendly.
