A neighboring slip owner at the Mandan marina got tired of looking at a neglected Pathfinder 2200. The 22 foot fiberglass center console had a black hull with a silver stripe and sat tied up while marina fees stacked up unpaid. Staff needed the slip back for the summer, so the boat owner called us to clear it out.
The only exit road from the marina presented a real challenge. Low tree limbs hung across the lane, and an overhead power line crossed right at the main gate. Our crew backed our trailer into the water and winched the boat onto the bunks. Before pulling onto the road, we unbolted the console T-top and laid it flat on the deck so we would not catch the wires.
We pulled the boat down to the yard for proper disposal. Mechanics rebuilt the outboard motor to sell for parts, and we took the hull to a facility that grinds fiberglass for recycling. Jobs for boats over 20 feet get custom estimates over the phone because length and location alter the setup. Call 833-658-4847 for boat removal anywhere in Morton County.
In our experience, water that sits inside a hull through North Dakota winters freezes hard, cracking the gelcoat and soaking into the wood underneath. Snow loads also collapse cheap covers and let rain right in. Before any haul, we pull the battery and pump out all fuel and oil so no hazardous materials spill during transit.

Before you call: two common questions
Can you remove a boat without a title?
Yes, we can remove your vessel if the title is missing. When there is no title, we sign a bill of sale and a release of liability. This paperwork proves you handed the vessel to us and helps clear your name from state registration files.
How to get rid of a broken boat?
Call our crew to tow the boat away from your property or dock. We handle the winch work, loading, and road transport. Once at the yard, we salvage usable hardware and take the remaining hull to an approved facility for final disposal.
Boat removal throughout Morton County
Crews cover Morton County: Almont, New Salem, Glen Ullin and Flasher. Summer brings a rush of removal requests across this region. Boat owners clear out slips and yard space once the winter snow melts and reveals structural damage from ice pressure.
