We pulled up to the Richmond house and saw a burgundy and white Sea Pro center console resting beside the gravel driveway. The boat sat low on a pile of worn car tires and cinder blocks. A broad fiberglass hull resting on dirt is heavy, and the owner wanted it gone to park a new vessel in that same spot.
Our crew backed our hydraulic deck tilt trailer up to the bow. We ran heavy polyester slings underneath the keel to bridge the gap between the hull and the gravel. Lifting a boat off ground blocks requires slow winch speed so the fiberglass does not catch and crack against the cinder blocks. We winched the center console up onto our steel bunk system without touching the house or driveway.
We towed the hull to a regional scrap yard. A crew stripped the outboard engine for spare salvage parts, and the remaining fiberglass went through the crusher for proper disposal. 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 anywhere in Madison County.
In our experience, boats sitting directly on damp ground absorb moisture through the gelcoat during wet springs and humid summers. That moisture feeds mold and weakens structural wood. Before any boat haul, we drain all remaining fuel, siphon crankcase oil, and disconnect the battery to handle hazardous materials correctly.

What Richmond boat owners ask us
Do I need a title to have my boat removed?
No, a title is not always required. We take the title when you have one. If the title is missing, we sign a state a release of liability with you so the vessel is officially removed from your name before we haul it away.
How to get rid of a broken boat?
Call our crew to schedule a pickup. We bring the right trucks, winches, and rigging to haul out broken vessels from yards or driveways. We handle the transport, salvage the usable hardware, and dispose of the hull safely.
Where our crews work around Richmond
Crews cover Madison County: Berea. High summer humidity quickly turns neglected vessels into breeding grounds for pests. Homeowners in this part of Kentucky often schedule boat removal in June to clear space on their property before vegetation covers the hull completely.
