A neighbor watching from the fence line thought the old Sea Pro would sit in that Pinehurst pole barn until the roof caved in. A local builder bought the rural lot and needed the space cleared for construction. He called us to pull out the 20 ft center console, which had a black hull with a silver stripe and an outboard motor attached.
The floor was completely rotten and caved under a boot. Our crew could not step inside the hull to set winches or strap the helm down safely. We laid heavy plywood sheets across the gunwales to spread our weight, then hooked strap bridles around the thick aluminum T-top frame and the transom eyes. That kept us from putting feet on the floor while we winched the hull onto our haul trailer.
We pulled the outboard and saved the trailer for iron recycling. The rotten fiberglass hull went directly to a regional solid waste scrap yard for crushing. Boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone, because size and setting change the work. If you have an unwanted hull in Pinehurst or Moore County, call us at 833-658-4847.
In our experience, storing a boat in an open pole barn through wet North Carolina springs and hot summers speeds up floor rot and rusted trailer axles. Mildew softens plywood decks until they fall apart under pressure. Before we haul any fiberglass hull away for proper disposal, our crew drains all fuel, crankcase oil, and hazardous materials, then disconnects the battery.

What people ask before a boat leaves
Do I need a title to have my boat removed?
No, we can clear the vessel without a title. When you have the paperwork, we take the title directly. If the title is missing, our crew signs a simple release of liability with you so the boat is officially off your name.
Can you scrap a boat at a scrap yard?
Yes, but most metal yards only accept the metal parts. We salvage the outboard engine, aluminum fittings, and steel trailer for metal recycling. The non-recyclable fiberglass hull must be crushed and buried at an approved regional landfill facility.
Where our crews work around Pinehurst
Crews cover Moore County: Southern Pines, Aberdeen, Foxfire and Carthage. Summer heat and high humidity quickly ruin old boat interiors left outdoors. Boat owners in this region usually call us when property sales, lot clearing, or old farm storage clear-outs bring forgotten hulls to light.
