The apartment complex manager in Bayonne wanted the parking space back because our customer bought a new boat. The old white Pathfinder 2200 had sat on its trailer in the lot for three years. The faded navy blue stripe was chalked from the sun, and the owner needed the spot cleared before management started imposing fines.
Moving a 22 ft fiberglass hull on dead rubber takes some care. Both trailer tires were flat and cracked down to the cord, so dragging it would have chewed up the asphalt. Our crew jacked the frame, pulled the dry-rotted wheels, and put on heavy-duty transport spares we bring on every haul. We hooked up our winch, secured the rig, and pulled it safely out of the lot without disturbing the neighbors.
We unbolted the outboard motor so a shop could rebuild and resell it, then hauled the stripped hull to a landfill facility that processes fiberglass for recycling. Jobs for boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone because the vessel size and the parking setting change how we pull them. If you have an unwanted boat in Bayonne or anywhere in Hudson County, call us at 833-658-4847.
As a rule, we see extra damage on outdoor boats left sitting through New Jersey winters. Water collects inside the deck, freezes solid, splits the gelcoat, and rots the wood inside the back of the hull. Before hauling any vessel for disposal, our crew always drains the fuel tanks, collects the crankcase oil, and disconnects the battery so hazardous materials do not enter the waste stream.

Two questions we hear on jobs like this
How to get rid of a bad boat?
Call our crew to haul the boat away directly from your yard, marina, or storage lot. We tow the vessel, dismantle the motor, safely dispose of any fuel or oil, and transport the remaining fiberglass hull to an approved waste or recycling facility.
How much does it cost to junk a fiberglass boat?
The price depends on the length of the hull, the location of the vessel, and whether the trailer is still rolling. Smaller boats under 20 feet on good trailers cost less to haul, while larger or sunken vessels require special equipment and higher landfill fees.
Boat removal throughout Hudson County
Crews cover Hudson County: Jersey City, Kearny, Secaucus and Union City. Coming out of spring into June, boat owners clear out old hulls to make room for working vessels or to avoid parking fines from local property managers.
