The homeowner in Conway tried pulling his 20 ft Ranger 519VX with a farm tractor first. The wheels spun in the soft dirt, and the black hull stayed stuck near the back fence. He needed the yard clear because the house was going up for sale. He called our crew to handle the haul before the first open house.
The wet June rain had turned the grass into deep mud, and low tree limbs sat right under an overhead power line along the driveway. We laid down thick ground mats so our rig would not sink or rut the lawn. Our crew used a low-profile winch line to drag the boat out slowly, keeping the tall outboard motor clear of the power line and branches. Steer tires turn hard on wet plywood, so we washed the mud off the tread as we moved.
Our crew hauled the bass boat to a local repair yard that bought it because the fiberglass hull was still sound. Boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone, because size and setting change the work. If you have an unwanted vessel in Horry County, call 833-658-4847.
As a rule, we expect heavy summer heat and rain to fill open decks quickly, which speeds up algae growth and ruins fiberglass gelcoat. Before any haul, we pump out the fuel tank, drain the engine oil, and pull the battery for proper disposal at a salvage center. We take the title when there is one, and when there is not we sign a release of liability so the boat is off the owner’s name.

Two questions we hear on jobs like this
Can you take a boat to the junk yard?
Yes, we transport scrap hulls directly to a salvage yard or a landfill that takes fiberglass. Our crew handles the loading, towing, and recycling steps. We make sure hazardous materials like old fuel, oil, and batteries are drained before the hull gets broken down.
What if my boat engine is inoperable?
We haul boats with broken, seized, or missing outboard motors all the time. Our trucks use heavy winches to pull non-running vessels onto our trailers safely. You do not need a working engine or a rolling trailer for us to complete the boat removal.
Boat disposal across Horry County
Crews cover Horry County: Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Loris and Surfside Beach. High humidity and sudden summer storms fill open hulls with water, making boat owners clear out old vessels before listing their properties or facing county code issues.
