Default Want to donate my boat to charity, need advice

I want to donate my boat to charity and found a charity that seems like a good place to donate to. It's called XXXXXXXXX.org and they said that they will take my boat even though it doesn't run which is the reason I want to donate it, I don't want to fix it cause i just bought a new one. They also said that they will come and pick it up at no charge to me another plus. My friend told me about them and said that she got a free vacation voucher with her donation so I want to do the same. So I just want to know has anyone else donated to them? If so, what was your experience like?

Why ask a bunch of strangers on a forum board? Ask your friend who has already done it. I agree with the above, sounds like a scam.... presented by a scammer.

This sounds like spam.... We're going to need to see pictures of the new boat. And a personal photo. But the personal photo is only because there are hundreds of Maries with one post on OSO and we need to distinguish the real Maries from the fake Maries. Or something like that.

She forgot to mention that the boat she was donating was a 2014 52 MTI with 1350's . It doesn't run because it has a dead battery so she figured she would donate it..
