Boat Removal for a 20 ft Sea Fox Center Console in Wabash

A 20 ft Sea Fox 199 center console sat on a trailer with a tan hull and a brown accent stripe. The owner stopped going out on the water a few seasons ago. He wanted the grass back and called us to haul the boat away.

The boat sat in a narrow side yard next to the garage. When our crew opened the center console access door, we found a large nest of red wasps inside. We sprayed the nest and let the air clear before reaching inside to disconnect the steering cable. We used a winch to guide the trailer slowly past the garage gutter without hitting the house siding.

Our crew hauled the boat to a salvage yard where we stripped the usable hardware. We cut the fiberglass hull into sections for proper disposal and sent the scrap metal for recycling. 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 Wabash County.

In our experience, Midwest winters do real damage to sitting hulls. Water trapped inside the fiberglass freezes, expands, and splits the gelcoat, while snow loads pull down vinyl covers. Before any hull goes for breakdown, we pump out the fuel tank, drain the engine oil, remove hazardous materials, and pull the battery.

What Wabash boat owners ask us

How to get rid of a broken boat?

Call us to handle the heavy lifting. Our crew backs up to the yard, loads the boat on a trailer, and hauls it to a yard for proper disposal. We pull hazardous materials like fuel and oil before cutting or recycling the hull so boat owners do not have to handle it.

Can you remove a boat without a title?

Yes, we can usually take a boat even if the paperwork is missing. When there is no title available, we have you sign a release of liability. That paperwork documents the transfer of the hull so the old vessel is off your name for good.
