An article of newspaper of August 2000 said that used 140, 000 pleasure boats made of FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics) have been left at rivers, ports and harbors all over Japan.

There are two main reasons of left FRP boats, one is poor moral of owners and the other is the local authorities have hesitated to dispose or remove them due to financial matter.
