The Jet Ski sat near a fence line for eight years after the engine seized. Grass grew around the jet drive until the homeowner received an HOA violation letter. He called us to haul the tan and brown 11 ft Kawasaki away.
Our crew backed the truck to the edge of the farm field. Wasps had built three thick nests under the steering console, so we sprayed the plastic housing and waited before reaching for the winch hook. The dry tires took air long enough to roll off the dirt. We pulled the watercraft onto our flatbed trailer and strapped the hull down by the bow eye.
We brought the craft back to our shop to strip the remaining hardware for scrap and cut the fiberglass hull for proper disposal. Our price sheet lists boats under 20 feet at about $75 a foot. Call 833-658-4847 if you need boat removal in Mount Holly or Gaston County.
As a rule, we see field pickups speed up hull damage because wet soil rots tires and rusts iron trailers from the bottom up. Before cutting or recycling, our crew flushes the fuel tank, drains the crankcase oil, and pulls the lead-acid battery for safety.

Boat removal questions from Mount Holly owners
Is my old boat worth anything?
Most non-running boats hold little monetary value because salvage, towing, and disposal fees cost more than the usable metal parts. Hull material like worn fiberglass has no scrap value. We can look at the engine model and overall condition to see if any value remains to offset your boat removal cost.
Do I need a title to have my boat removed?
No, you do not always need a clear title to get rid of a vessel. When you have the title, we take it during pickup. When the paper is missing, our crew provides a release of liability form to sign so the watercraft is safely off your name.
Boat removal and disposal around Mount Holly
Crews cover Gaston County: Gastonia, Belmont, Cherryville and Bessemer City. Early summer heat drives many boat owners to clean out side yards and clear pasture space before weeds grow over the trailer frames. High humidity in this region rapidly rots exposed seats, steering cables, and rubber hoses.
