Deck boats give you plenty of open floor space until they sit on dry land for three years. A homeowner in Fountain called us about a 19 ft Bayliner 197 Deck with a black fiberglass hull and a silver stripe. The house was going up for sale, and the buyer wanted the back concrete pad clear before closing.
The main issue was the lack of a trailer. The sterndrive boat sat flat on concrete blocks and old light-truck tires behind the duplex. Our crew backed our heavy flatbed trailer up the side drive. We ran synthetic winch straps under the stern, jacked the hull up two inches with hydraulic bottle jacks, and slid rolling machinery skates under the bottom. We pulled the hull forward onto our tilt-deck trailer without cracking the fiberglass against the concrete.
We hauled the Bayliner to a landfill that takes fiberglass, and sent the engine block and outdrive out for metal recycling. For a job like this, our price sheet puts boats under 20 feet at roughly $75 per foot. If you have an unwanted boat in Fountain or El Paso County, call 833-658-4847.
In our experience, intense Colorado sun at high altitude bakes boat covers until they rot, letting rainwater freeze inside the hull during winter. Our crew drains all leftover fuel and engine oil into approved containers and removes the battery before taking any vessel for disposal.

Questions from the phone this week
What is the procedure for boat disposal?
We bring the right truck and gear to load your vessel, regardless of its condition. Our crew pumps out hazardous materials like fuel and oil, strips the recyclable metal parts, and hauls the fiberglass hull to a proper landfill. You do not have to tow anything yourself.
Can you remove a boat without a title?
Yes, we can handle the boat removal even if you misplaced the title. When no paper title exists, our team provides a release of liability for you to sign. That document officially removes your name from the boat so you are no longer responsible for it.
