Yards don't normally give things away, unless they got it somewhat cheaper than they giving it away for. So how does a yard acquire a boat...

Unpaid repair bills, which for you, is a good thing and easy to check
Uneconomical to repair, where the owners bring it in for repair and find out the repair is more than the boat is worth and walk away.
Salvage. The insurance company has written it off.

I hope you have found a great deal but would try to find out some history before doing anything. Just my two cents.
