The June sun was already baking Chatham County by eight in the morning. Heat and heavy air slow down heavy cutting, and rain storms like to pop up without warning in the afternoon. A local builder called us to clear a Georgetown lot, and this sea-foam green 26 ft Sea Ray Sundancer cabin cruiser was standing right where his trucks needed to go. The sun had turned the green gelcoat into dry white chalk over years of sitting in the side yard.
Our crew backed our truck up to the yard, but the trailer tires were flat and cracked down to the inner fabric cords. Rolling it out on those rotted tires would have dropped the axle straight onto the dirt. We used a heavy farm jack to lift the trailer frame, then swapped on two of our own service wheels to pull the boat into the open street. Once out, we drained the trapped rainwater from the cabin and stabilized the hull for transit.
We towed the rig to our shop to safely remove the stern drive and internal engine for metal recycling. The oxidized fiberglass hull was cut into smaller sections and hauled to a landfill that takes heavy fiberglass debris. Boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone because size and setting change the work. If you have an unwanted cruiser in Georgetown, call us at 833-658-4847.
In our experience, leaving a hull in Georgia humidity lets summer storms fill it with water fast, making the boat twice as heavy as the manufacturer listed. As a rule, our crew always drains residual fuel, clears oil from the motor, and pulls the battery for hazardous materials handling before we chop or haul a hull. We take the boat title when you have it, and if it is lost, we sign a release of liability so the craft is removed from your name.

Before you call: two common questions
How to get rid of a bad boat?
Call our crew to haul it away. We handle the winch work, towing, and teardown ourselves. We strip out the engine for metal recycling, manage any fluid disposal properly, and haul the stripped fiberglass hull to an approved landfill so you do not have to drag it anywhere.
How much does it cost to remove a boat?
Every boat removal job depends on the size of the vessel, the location on your property, and the condition of the trailer. Smaller boats on good trailers cost less to pull. Call us with your boat details and setting to get a clear price before we head out.
Boat removal around Georgetown
Crews cover Chatham County: Savannah, Pooler, Port Wentworth and Garden City. High summer humidity and coastal downpours quickly turn parked yard boats into stagnant water traps. Local property owners frequently call us in June when hot sun chalks the gelcoat and rapidly growing algae makes old hulls an eyesore to neighbors.
