We pulled up to the Leawood property and saw a 20 ft Sea Pro center console sitting deep in a lawn turn to soup. The white hull had a faded navy blue stripe, and the tires on the trailer were sunk past the rims. A builder had just bought the lot and needed the boat gone before his excavators arrived.
Our truck would have buried itself if we backed straight in. We laid four heavy ground mats over the soft turf to create a solid runway for our winches. A dead battery meant we had to hook up a portable power pack just to tilt the outboard up so it would not drag in the mud. We winched the trailer onto the mats, hooked it to our rig, and pulled the whole unit out to the pavement.
We brought the boat back to our yard to drain the fuel and strip the salvageable parts. The outboard went to a mechanic who rebuilt and resold it, and we sent the fiberglass hull off for proper disposal. Boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone because size and setting change the work. If you need boat removal in Leawood or Johnson County, call 833-658-4847.
In our experience, wet springs in Kansas turn yard soil soft and speed up rust on trailer frames and axles. Moving a boat sitting in wet grass takes planning so we do not tear up the lawn. Before recycling any fiberglass hull, our crew pulls the battery and drains all fuel, oil, and hazardous materials. We take the title when you have it, or we sign a release of liability so the vessel is off your name.

Boat removal questions from Leawood owners
Is my old boat worth anything?
An old fiberglass hull usually has no trade value, but an outboard motor or trailer might bring a few dollars if the parts work. Most boat owners hire us to haul the boat away because the cost of disposal and transport is higher than the scrap value of the metal.
Can you scrap a boat at a scrap yard?
Standard scrap yards only take metal, so they reject fiberglass boats. We pull all stainless steel, aluminum, and brass fittings for recycling first. Then we take the fiberglass hull to a proper disposal facility that accepts composite plastics and resin.
