Bass boats accumulate gear until somebody leaves them behind. A landlord in Roxbury called us about a white Stratos 186 with a red boot stripe. It was an 18 foot fiberglass hull with an outboard engine, sitting on a concrete pad behind a duplex. He needed the space cleared for new tenants.
When our crew approached, we found a family of raccoons living inside the small cabin space. We opened the hatches, used noise and light to flush the animals out safely, and let them leave the property. After the pests cleared out, we hooked our winch line to the trailer frame. We used heavy wooden wheel chocks to keep the rig steady as we pulled it off the tight pad without marking the concrete driveway.
We brought the craft to our facility where our crew removed the outboard and recovered usable hardware. The stripped hull was cut into sections for proper disposal and sent for recycling. Our price sheet lists boats under 20 feet at about $75 a foot. If you have an unwanted hull in Roxbury or Morris County, call us at 833-658-4847.
In our experience, water that sits inside a hull through winter freezes and splits the gelcoat, which softens the back of the hull over time. Before we haul any craft, we remove all hazardous materials including fuel, engine oil, and batteries. We take the title when the owner has one, or we sign a release of liability so the craft is off your name.

Boat removal questions from Roxbury owners
What if my boat engine is inoperable?
We take boats with dead or missing engines every week. Our crew handles the entire boat removal process using winches and trailers, so the vessel does not need to run or float. You just point us to the craft.
How much does it cost to remove a boat?
Boat removal pricing depends on the length of the vessel, its location, and the work needed to load it. Vessels under 20 feet usually run by the foot. Call us to describe your craft and we will give you a clear price upfront.
Our boat removal crews in Morris County
Crews cover Morris County: Kinnelon, Florham Park, Lincoln Park and Mendham. Early summer brings many calls from property owners cleaning up yards before new tenants arrive. Winter snow loads often ruin old covers, leaving hulls full of rainwater and unwanted pests by June.
