Even the Waters Remember

Even the Waters Remember pulls back the tarp on the modern boat trade—title fog, HIN tampering, hurricane “rebuilts,” bilge dumping, and export scrap that leaves bays to pay the bill. From dock-level eyewitness to pastoral blueprint, this handbook replaces quick flips with honest scales, clean methods, and local jobs.

Learn how rings move outboards, what “rebuilt” must mean, and how to buy, sell, refit, and dispose without poisoning the water or your witness. Includes a practical Clean Boats Plan, public-ledger transparency, and checklists for buyers, marinas, churches, and cities.

This page offers spiritual and educational guidance. It is not a substitute for legal, environmental, financial, or emergency services. If you suspect theft, fraud, hazardous discharge, or personal danger, contact local authorities and harbor leadership immediately.

1. Title & HIN Integrity: verify chain of ownership; inspect HIN plates and secondary stampings; no purchase without clean documentation.
2. Clean Bilge Protocol: absorbents on site; no over-board discharge; partner haz-waste pickup; log every pump-out.
3. Truth-in-Ads: disclose salvage, flood, hurricane history with photos and survey; ban word games.
4. Downstream Transparency: public ledger of engines/parts diverted to refurb, recycle, or scrap with dates and vendors.
5. Community Guardrails: church/marina accountability team; random audits; whistleblower line; pray over the docks.

Honor the Lord, the law, and the locals. Boats become livelihoods without turning bays into filters.
