“The city officer left a paper on my door about the boat.” That is how our phone call started with a Stillwater, Oklahoma home owner. He had a 19 ft burgundy and white Champion 191 bass boat parked inside a deep detached garage. The fiberglass hull fit inside, but the trailer tongue was jammed right against the roll-up door.
Our crew backed our truck into the driveway and inspected the setup. The biggest issue was the fuel tank, which was half full of gasoline that had turned bad over six years. We brought in a pneumatic siphon pump and drained eight gallons of stale fuel into approved canisters before rolling the rig. We lowered the trailer tongue wheel, squeezed past the side gunwales, and pulled the unit out by hand onto the asphalt to hook it to our hitch.
We towed the bass boat to our facility to strip the useful aluminum trim, pumps, and metal hardware. The clean hull went through our heavy saw to prepare the fiberglass for recycling. Our standard rate for boats under 20 feet runs around $75 per foot. Boat owners anywhere in Payne County can reach our crew at 833-658-4847 to clear out an old craft.
As a rule, we expect wet springs and hot summers in Oklahoma to rust steel trailer frames fast, making hand-winching necessary when wheels lock up. We pump out residual gas and engine oil, then disconnect the starter battery for safety before any cutting starts. We collect the title from you or complete a state a release of liability so the boat is completely off your name.

Questions owners ask about a job like this
What if my boat engine is inoperable?
We take boats regardless of motor condition. Our crew can haul craft with broken outboards, missing lower units, or seized internal engines. We winch the boat and trailer onto our flatbed even if the motor cannot run, shift, or trim up for transport.
How much does it cost to remove a boat?
Boat removal pricing depends on length, overall weight, location, and condition. We review the size of your vessel and how easily our tow vehicles can reach it. We give you a clear price quote before driving out so you know what the job costs.
