The family in Springfield tried selling this 16 ft Lowe FM 165 online for weeks. Nobody wanted an inherited aluminum fishing boat with a burgundy hull, white deck, and a dead outboard motor sitting in the way. They needed the space in their pole barn back, so they called our crew for boat removal.
Our trucks pulled up to the rural lot in June. The boat rested on an old trailer, but the frame had rusted through right at the tongue from wet springs. You cannot tow a broken tongue down the highway. We jacked up the front of the frame, clamped steel angle irons across the break, and bolted them tight so the structure could handle the winch cable. Then we pulled the whole rig onto our flatbed.
We took the vessel to a repair yard because the riveted hull was still sound. Our price sheet lists boats under 20 feet at about $75 a foot. If you have an unwanted vessel in Robertson County, call 833-658-4847.
In our experience, wet Tennessee springs rust out steel trailers long before the aluminum hulls give up. Standing water collects in frame tubes and rots them from the inside out. Before we take a rig down the road, our crew drains all fuel and oil into haul tanks and removes the battery for safe recycling. We take the title when you have one, or we sign a release of liability to keep your name clean.

Two questions we hear on jobs like this
How to get rid of a broken boat?
Call us to tow it away. Our crew pulls the boat from your property, hauls it on our truck, and takes it to a landfill or recycler. We handle hazardous materials like gasoline, oil, and batteries before proper disposal.
Can you get a boat out of my backyard?
Yes, we winch boats out of backyards, barns, and fields. Even if the trailer tires are flat or the frame is snapped, our crew brings portable dollies and flatbeds to haul the vessel off your land.
Removing boats across Robertson County
Crews cover Robertson County: Coopertown, Cross Plains, Greenbrier and Orlinda. Early summer brings many boat removal calls in this area. Owners clean out outbuildings after heavy spring rain leaves mildew on vinyl seats and ruins tires on parked trailers.
