This burgundy Sea Pro 206 spent years sitting along a canal seawall in Alhambra. The owner used to take the center console out for fishing trips, but it had been sitting docked for seasons until the marina staff asked for the slip back.
The boat sat right along the water, but the dirt path leading to the canal seawall was soft. A heavy rig would sink past its hubs in that dirt. Our crew laid down heavy timber matting to bridge the patch of soft ground. We hooked a winch line to the stern, kept the line high, and pulled the hull up onto our specialized haul trailer without letting the trailer tires sink into the soil.
We hauled the vessel to a yard for proper disposal. We separated the aluminum hardware, cleared out the hazardous materials, and sent the fiberglass hull off to a facility that grinds material for recycling. Boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone, because size and setting change the work. If you have an unwanted boat in Los Angeles County, give us a call at 833-658-4847.
In our experience, dry sun across southern California bakes boat surfaces quickly. Long exposure leaves gelcoat faded, seats cracked, and trailer tires brittle, which means we often have to inflate or replace tires just to tow a rig down the road. Our crew drains fuel and oil and pulls the battery before recycling the hull. We take the title when there is one, and when there is not, we sign a release of liability so the vessel is off your name.

Before you call: two common questions
How much does it cost to junk a fiberglass boat?
Cost depends on length, location, and condition. A small boat on a good trailer costs less to haul than a heavy hull stuck in the mud or sitting at a dock. Call us with your boat details, and we will explain the pricing before we head out.
How to get rid of a broken boat?
Call our crew to handle the haul and disposal. We bring the equipment to pull the vessel out of a yard, driveway, or slip. We disconnect the motor, pump out fluids, and take the boat to a facility equipped for proper disposal and recycling.
Our boat removal crews in Los Angeles County
Crews cover Los Angeles County: Los Angeles, Palmdale, Lancaster and Santa Clarita. Hot summer weather causes old rubber hoses to dry out and split, leading boat owners to clear out older hulls that have sat unused through long dry spells.
