Even at about .60 a LB. My hull alone is over 2 grand. A good reason to keep it painted I guess. Maybe the junkers won't notice.

I would have thought it was a lot more than that.. Like $2-3 a pound. It is more of curiousity than anything else. I figured there was 6-8,000 lbs of metal in the boats I was looking at..
