A Crestliner Kodiak 16 from 1998, tan hull with a brown accent stripe. The owner was packing up for a move out of state and needed the riveted aluminum hull gone from his rented space. He did not want to tow it across state lines or keep paying monthly storage fees for an outboard rig he no longer used.
The boat sat in a fenced self-storage lot in Ada. The big issue was a narrow side gate that gave us only a few inches of clearance on each side of the trailer. I backed our truck up slowly while two crew members walked the sides with ground guides. We lowered the tire pressure on the trailer slightly to stop it from bouncing off the gate posts as we pulled it through.
Once on the main road, we brought the boat to our yard for teardown. We stripped the aluminum hull and sold it for scrap metal, then saved the usable deck fittings. Our price sheet lists boats under 20 feet at about $75 a foot. If you have an old hull in Pontotoc County, call 833-658-4847 for boat removal.
In our experience, Oklahoma heat and wet spring weather quickly rust trailer frames left on dirt or gravel storage pads. Before recycling any hull, we pump out remaining fuel, drain the motor oil, and remove the battery for proper disposal. We take the title when there is one, or sign a release of liability so the craft is off your name.

Boat removal questions from Ada owners
How to get rid of a broken boat?
Call our crew to haul the vessel away from your property or storage lot. We tow the rig to our yard, strip the hazardous materials, and dispose of the fiberglass or metal responsibly. We handle the heavy lifting and the teardown process for boat owners.
How much does it cost to remove a boat?
The final cost depends on the length of the vessel, its location, and whether it sits on a usable trailer. Smaller aluminum hulls on trailers cost less to transport than heavy, sunk fiberglass hulls. We give you a clear quote before setting out for the job.
Boat removal and disposal around Ada
Crews cover Pontotoc County: Fitzhugh, Byng, Roff and Francis. Early summer moves bring many calls from boat owners cleaning out storage spaces before leaving town. Hot weather also makes people clear out old hulls sitting on sun-baked dirt lots before trailers sink or tires dry rot completely.
