An 18 foot Bayliner Capri with water sitting in the floor is just a giant mosquito nursery. This black bowrider with a silver stripe was sitting in a fenced self-storage lot in Trophy Club. Rainwater had built up under the cover, and neighbors were complaining about the bugs. The owner wanted the fiberglass hull off the property before the lot manager fined him.
The obstacle was a steep driveway emptying straight onto a narrow street. Our crew backed our haul rig up the slope, blocked the rear wheels, and checked the trailer tongue. The tires were low, so we aired them up with a portable compressor to get the frame rolling cleanly. We hooked up safety chains, winched the boat tight to the winch post, and used a snatch block to ease the entire rig down the incline without scraping the pavement.
We towed the boat to our yard where our crew stripped the sterndrive for reusable parts. The clean fiberglass hull was cut down into manageable panels for proper disposal and recycling. Our price sheet lists boats under 20 feet at about $75 a foot. Call 833-658-4847 to set up boat removal anywhere in Denton County.
In our experience, Texas heat bakes trapped water inside an open hull, which rots the floor and rusts trailer wheel bearings rapidly. Before any hull goes for recycling, we drain all leftover fuel and oil into containment drums and remove the battery to handle hazardous materials safely.

Questions owners ask about a job like this
Do I need a title to have my boat removed?
No, you do not always need a title in hand. We take the title when you have it, but if it is missing, we sign a release of liability with you so the vessel is officially off your name.
What if my boat is on a trailer?
We haul the boat and the trailer together. Our crew checks the tires, lights, and wheel bearings on the trailer before moving it, or we winch the whole setup onto our flatbed if the trailer is no longer roadworthy.
Where our crews work around Trophy Club
Crews cover Denton County: Denton, Northlake, Little Elm and The Colony. Early summer heat following heavy spring rains usually brings us calls for boat removal across this area. Boat owners want stagnant water cleared out before mildew destroys the interior or pests settle in the hull.
