Neighbors in Chapel Hill were tired of looking at an 11 ft metallic blue Sea-Doo GTI sitting in the grass. A landlord called us after taking over the property. The sun had turned the fiberglass chalky, and the jet drive sat choked with dry leaves.
The spring rain had soaked the yard into deep mud. Both tires on the single-axle trailer were flat and cracked down to the cords, stuck four inches deep in the dirt. Our crew backed our truck up to the grass line and winched the trailer slowly onto hard ground. We slipped plastic skids under the flat tires so the rims would roll instead of tearing up the yard.
We hauled the watercraft off to be stripped. The scrap yard salvaged the jet engine and metal trailer frame, and crushed the fiberglass hull for disposal. Our rates run near $75 per foot for vessels under 20 feet. Call 833-658-4847 to clear a vessel off your land in Chapel Hill or Orange County.
As a rule, we see wet springs rot trailer rims long before the fiberglass hull gives out. Rust hidden behind the tires often snaps spindle axles during a tow. Our crew drains all fuel, crankcase oil, and hazardous materials before stripping usable parts for recycling.

Questions owners ask about a job like this
What if my boat engine is inoperable?
We take vessels regardless of motor condition. Locked pistons, missing lower units, or blown blocks do not stop our boat removal work. We winch non-running craft onto our flatbeds or trailers, so you do not need a working engine to clear your property.
Can you remove a boat without a title?
Yes, we remove vessels without papers. When a title is missing, we sign a release of liability with you. That document establishes the transfer and removes your name from the vessel so you are no longer responsible for it.
