An insurance company wrote off an 18 ft Stratos bass boat in Glenpool, OK, after it took heavy damage. The adjusters tried finding a salvage yard to pick up the gray and black fiberglass hull, but nobody wanted to haul it out of an apartment complex parking lot. The property manager gave them a firm deadline to clear the space. They called our crew to handle the boat removal.
The main obstacle was a steep driveway draining onto a narrow street lined with parked cars. Our truck could not back directly up to the rig without blocking traffic. We used a heavy snatch block anchored to our frame, doubled the winch line, and slowly guided the single-axle trailer up the incline by hand steering the tongue. You always keep a set of solid rubber chocks right behind the tires on a grade like that, or a loose rig will snap a cable and run wild.
Once the trailer hit the street level, we hooked up directly and towed it to our yard. Our crew stripped out the outboard, drained the hazardous materials, and sent the fiberglass hull off to recycling. We cleaned up the trailer frame and saved it for reuse. For a job like this, our price sheet lists boats under 20 feet at about $75 a foot. Call 833-658-4847 if you need boat removal in Tulsa County.
In our experience, humid weather in Oklahoma leaves standing water in open hulls, which rusts out trailer winch mounts and rots the floor quickly. Before we recycle any fiberglass hull, our crew always drains all fuel, crankcase oil, and gear lube, then safely pulls the battery.

Boat removal questions from Glenpool owners
Do I need a title to have my boat removed?
No, you do not always need a title. If you have the title, we take it from you during pickup. If the title is missing, we sign a release of liability form so the boat is officially off your name.
How to get rid of a broken boat?
Call us to handle the heavy lifting. We bring the right trucks, winch the craft off your property, and haul it away. Our team takes care of proper disposal, recycling the hull materials, and draining all fluids safely.
