A homeowner in Red Bank, NJ called us because he was putting his house on the market. The buyer wanted the yard cleared before closing. Behind the wooden privacy fence sat a 20 ft Sea Fox 199 center console. It had a white fiberglass hull, a faded navy blue stripe, and an old outboard motor.
The boat sat on an old trailer with a seized winch and a rusted-through crank. Rolling it out meant we had to deal with the broken winch first. Our crew hooked up a portable hand-comealong to the bow eye and backed our winch truck up to the fence opening. We placed heavy rubber pads under the trailer tires to keep them from sinking into the lawn, then slowly dragged the setup forward until we could hitch the frame directly to our vehicle.
We hauled the boat to our yard for salvage and recycling. The motor and aluminum hardware were stripped for parts, and we cut the fiberglass hull into sections so a facility could dispose of the scrap. Boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone, because size and setting change the work. Call us at 833-658-4847 for boat removal in Monmouth County.
In our experience, water sitting in a wintered hull freezes, splits the gelcoat, and rots the wood core. Snow loads also collapse cheap canvas covers and let rain soak the deck for months. We always drain all fuel and oil and pull the battery before recycling the fiberglass and metal. We take the title when there is one, and when there is not we sign a release of liability so the boat is off the owner’s name.

Boat removal questions from Red Bank owners
Can you get a boat out of my backyard?
Yes, we pull boats out of backyards regularly. Our crew uses portable gear, extra ramps, and small winches to maneuver trailers through narrow gates, past fences, and over soft ground without tearing up your lawn. Call us to discuss the access path at your property.
What happens to my boat after removal?
We take every vessel to a yard for proper disposal. Useful metal, electronics, and hardware are stripped for recycling or salvage. The remaining fiberglass hull is cut down into smaller pieces so a solid waste facility can process the material safely according to local standards.
