The heat in Danville hit ninety degrees before noon on a June Tuesday. That mattered because heat brings out every odor in an old boat, and our crew needed to haul a black and silver Tracker Pro Team 175 from a fenced self-storage lot. The boat owner bought a new craft and needed this space back.
The problem was inside the cabin area. A family of raccoons had made a nest in the storage box, and they were not happy to see us. We suited up in heavy gloves, opened the hatches, and used a long reach pole to usher the animals out through the gate. Once the boat was clear, we checked the trailer tires, pumped air into the left side, and hooked the rig to our winch truck.
Our team drove the fiberglass bass boat to a local repair yard that takes sound hulls for parts and rebuilding. Our price sheet lists boats under 20 feet at about $75 a foot. Call 833-658-4847 if you need boat removal in Boyle County.
In our experience, humid summers in Kentucky rot the carpet and trap water in closed compartments, creating mildew and rust on old boat trailers. Before any boat haul, we drain all fuel and crankcase oil, remove the battery, and handle hazardous materials for proper disposal. We take the title when you have one, or we sign a release of liability so the vessel is off your name.

Questions from the phone this week
What is the procedure for boat disposal?
We inspect the vessel, remove the fuel, oil, and batteries, and haul it away. Sound hulls go to repair shops for salvage. Crushed fiberglass goes to a landfill that takes fiberglass, while metal parts go to scrap recycling to keep waste out of waterways.
Can you get a boat out of my backyard?
Yes, we pull boats out of backyards, narrow side yards, and tight storage spots every week. Our crew uses portable winches and dolly wheels to move the vessel to our trailer without tearing up your lawn or knocking down your fence posts.
Boat removal throughout Boyle County
Crews cover Boyle County: Perryville. Hot summers and wet spring rains often leave forgotten boats sitting in yards or storage lots full of standing water. When owners buy a new model or face monthly storage fees, they call us for boat removal before the sun ruins the remaining value of the hull.
