Long time lurker, first time poster. I have a question for anyone out there willing to give their firsthand advice.

I've had a hell of a time selling my boat and my buddy suggested I donate it to offset a little increase in income that I'll be receiving this year. He never personally donated, but he said his bro-in-law did a couple years ago. He couldn't remember the name of the place, so I was wondering if anyone has ever donated their boat, or anything for that matter, what was your experience with it, and if it was a good experience, what is the name of the place you gave it to?

I did a little google search, and based off of my quick preliminary search, I kind of liked http://www.CharityBoats.org and http://www.onlineboatdonation.org. Has anyone ever used any of these places? Good? Bad?

Input anyone??
