Questions remain after abandoned boat removed from Milwaukee's lakefront

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A stick now marks the spot where abandoned boat "Deep Thought" was stuck for almost seven months. 

It was removed in a painstaking process Tuesday. 

On Wednesday, Milwaukee County Supervisor Sheldon Wasserman, who worked to get that boat off the lakefront, told us he's relieved that the boat is gone. He also said the wreckage is now in a tow lot, with its future uncertain.

"The legal questions of ownership become a big issue," Sup. Wasserman said. "Who owns the boat? Who's responsible for the boat? And taking over ownership and transferring ownership is gonna take about two or three months, so the boat's not gonna do anything these next two or three months. It's gonna sit there."

Wasserman also says the cost is still an issue, a figure that's still being calculated. How will the county be reimbursed for the cost of removing the boat?

Wasserman says one options under consideration is selling pieces of the boat as mementos.
