A bitter divorce, insurance settlement scam, drug dealers — there’s no end to the rumors of how a houseboat became abandoned between two coves on Lake Lanier.But after about eight years, a series of events and two enterprising Forsyth County residents, it appears the rotting vessel will finally be removed — piece by piece — from the lake. “That boat is notorious,” said Kevin Smith, community outreach specialist with Keep Forsyth County Beautiful. “There are a lot of different stories that go along with it, but it’s been an eyesore for years.“Being that we do anywhere between five and 10 shore cleanups a year, we’ve known about it.
