The owner asked us right away if she could legally get rid of her late husband’s boat without his name on the title. We explained how our liability waiver handles the property transfer, and she scheduled the job. The vessel was a 26 ft Bayliner 2655 Ciera cabin cruiser with a chalky, sun-faded metallic blue fiberglass hull and a sterndrive motor. It sat on a concrete pad behind her Menifee duplex, taking up space she needed for garden equipment.
Getting it out was tricky due to low tree limbs and an overhead power line across the driveway. Our crew checked the tire pressure on the dual-axle trailer, but the dry California heat had rotted the rubber. We backed our hydraulic tilt trailer up to the pad, set heavy rubber pads under the stern, and used a hand winch to guide the boat off its rotten setup. Watching low power lines while operating a winch cable takes a second man on the ground watching clearances every foot of the way.
We hooked the rig, towed it out, and brought it to a processing yard where workers salvaged useful metal parts. The fiberglass went for proper disposal, and the metal trailer got cleaned up and prepped so someone else can reuse it. Boats over 20 feet get a quote over the phone because their physical size and the yard setting alter the winch load. Call us at 833-658-4847 to move an unwanted vessel from your property.
As a rule, we expect sun damage on Southern California vessels left outdoors. High temperatures crack upholstery, ruin tires, and weaken plastic fittings long before we arrive. Our crew flushes the fuel tanks, drains the crankcase oil, and removes the battery before sending any hull for metal recycling or fiberglass disposal. We take the title when the owner has it, or we sign a release of liability so the vessel is completely off your name.

Yes, we pull vessels out of tight residential yards every week. Our crew uses portable jacks, heavy straps, and specialized winch gear to maneuver hulls down narrow side yards or over rough dirt without damaging your fences, landscaping, driveway pavement, or adjacent structures.
