The owner tried two different local buyers and a charity before calling us. Her late husband kept his 20 ft tan Ranger 519VX with a brown stripe inside a locked yard in North Kingstown. The engine was sitting cold, and the widow needed the space cleared to stop paying monthly rent.
Our crew arrived with a short-wheelbase truck and a drop-hitch assembly. The trailer was parked behind a chain-link fence, and the side gate gave us only four inches of clearance on each tire. We checked the trailer tires, pumped ten pounds of air into the left rim, and winched the rig slowly through the frame by hand so the fiberglass hull never touched the metal posts.
We brought the boat to a salvage yard where the aluminum fittings and motor were stripped for parts. The hull was cut up for glass recycling. Boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone, because size and setting change the work. If you need boat removal in Washington County, call 833-658-4847.
In our experience, Rhode Island winter moisture gets trapped under fitted covers, then freezes and splits gelcoat down to the matting. Rain soaks into the back of the hull over the cold months and adds hundreds of pounds. We pump out residual gas and crankcase oil into sealed jugs and drop the battery at a hazardous materials site before we haul the boat for final disposal.

What North Kingstown boat owners ask us
What is the procedure for boat disposal?
We pull the vessel from your property, haul it to our facility, and drain all fluids. Our crew strips the electronics, lead weights, and hardware. The remaining hull is chopped and taken to a facility that processes fiberglass into scrap filler.
Can you remove a boat without a title?
Yes, we can handle the job without a title in most situations. We check the hull identification number, review your proof of ownership or property access, and have you sign a release of liability form so the vessel is officially removed from your name.
