A fast bass boat loses its shine quickly when it sits out in the weather. A boat owner in Kerman called us about a 19 ft Skeeter ZX190 with a white and light blue fiberglass hull. Recent high winds knocked a heavy tree branch across the deck, breaking the windshield and crushing the steering console on an already worn vessel.
The boat sat on a trailer in a sandy lot near the water. Driving a heavy tow truck directly onto the loose sand would have buried the tires to the axles. Our crew laid down heavy wooden traction mats from our flatbed to create a solid runway to the trailer. We hooked a long winch cable to the bow eye, pulled the trailer onto the firm boards, and secured it for the road.
We hauled the boat to a repair yard that wanted the solid hull for a rebuild project. 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 Kerman or anywhere in Fresno County.
In our experience, strong California sun bakes fiberglass gelcoat, cracks vinyl seats, and dry-rots trailer tires long before the hull fails. Before taking any vessel for recycling or haul away, we pump out remaining fuel, drain the crankcase oil, and pull the battery for proper disposal of hazardous materials. When you have the paperwork, we take the title directly, or we help you sign a release of liability so the craft is off your name.

What people ask before a boat leaves
Can you take a boat to the junk yard?
Yes, we transport scrap hulls to a landfill that takes fiberglass or a recycling center equipped for metals and plastics. We haul the vessel from your property, drain all fluids, and handle the drop-off so you do not have to tow an unsafe trailer down the highway.
How much does it cost to remove a boat?
The total cost depends on the length of the vessel, its location, and whether it sits on a working trailer. Boats stored on soft dirt or sunken in water take extra gear to extract. We provide a clear estimate over the phone before our crew travels to your location.
Boat removal and disposal around Kerman
Crews cover Fresno County: Fresno, Clovis, Coalinga and Sanger. June heat dries out old hulls and trailer parts rapidly across the valley. Summer heat drives many boat owners to clear out broken project vessels to make space on their land before fire season hazards increase around dry lots and pastures.
