The double axle trailer under this 26 ft Bayliner 2655 Ciera had two flat tires and locked bearings. A widow in Superior called us because the brown and tan cabin cruiser sat tucked inside a detached garage with only four inches of clearance on each side. She needed the building cleared to put the property on the market.
Our crew pulled up to the alley behind the garage. Soft summer dirt meant backing our heavy flatbed up to the doors would sink the rear tires to the axles. We hooked an electric winch line to the tongue of the dead trailer and laid steel traction plates across the soil to support the wheels. We inflated the tires just enough to hold air, greased the stubborn hubs, and slowly winched the boat straight out into the driveway without scuffing the door frames.
Once the vessel was on solid pavement, we loaded the whole rig for haul away. Our crew cut the fiberglass hull into sections for proper disposal at a local landfill that takes it, and we sent the scrap iron to a recycling yard. Boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone, because size and setting change the work. If you need boat removal in Superior or Douglas County, call us at 833-658-4847.
In our experience, winters in northern Wisconsin do heavy damage to hulls stored in unheated spaces. Trapped water freezes and cracks the fiberglass gelcoat, while ice rots the wood inside the back of the hull. Before any disposal, we pump out old fuel, drain the motor oil, and pull the battery to contain hazardous materials.

Boat disposal questions
Can you get a boat out of my backyard?
Yes, our crew handles difficult backyard boat removal projects regularly. We use long winch cables, dolly wheels, and ground protection mats to roll vessels away from fences, trees, and soft lawns without driving heavy trucks across your grass or ruining your landscaping.
Do I need a title to have my boat removed?
No, a title is helpful, but it is not always required for us to haul away your vessel. When boat owners do not have paper titles, we provide a release of liability to sign so the boat is safely removed from your property and record.
Boat removal and disposal around Superior
Crews cover Douglas County: Lake Nebagamon, Poplar, Oliver and Solon Springs. Early summer brings a high volume of calls as family members clear out properties after spring thaw. Old cabin cruisers that sat through years of snow loads often need to be cleared before homes go up for sale.
