The owner bought this 11 ft Yamaha WaveRunner brand new, ran it for five summers, and then bought a bigger jet boat. The old two-tone white and blue PWC sat by the tree line behind his Ocala house for three years while brush grew around the jet drive.
Our crew pulled up to clear the spot for his new rig. The single-axle trailer was sunk in the dirt, and both tires were flat and cracked down to the internal cords. We placed heavy plastic skid boards under the flat tires, hitched our winch line to the tongue, and dragged the trailer onto our flatbed without popping the rubber off the rims.
We brought the fiberglass hull to a landfill that takes it and sent the trailer metal and internal parts out for recycling. Small vessels under twenty feet run around $75 per foot on our rate sheet. If you have an unwanted hull in Marion County, give us a call at 833-658-4847.
In our experience, leaving a jet ski outdoors during hot, humid Florida summers leads to fast algae growth and chalked gelcoat. Heavy June downpours also fill footwells, adding hundreds of pounds of dead weight to a sitting hull. Before any vessel goes to the recycler, our crew drains the remaining fuel and oil, then removes the battery for hazardous materials handling.

What Ocala boat owners ask us
Can you take a boat to the junk yard?
Yes, we haul vessels directly to landfills and scrap processors. Junk yards rarely accept intact fiberglass hulls, so our crew cuts the hull down to fit disposal guidelines. We sort aluminum, steel, and copper for proper disposal and recycling.
Can you remove a boat without a title?
Yes, we haul unwanted vessels even if you mislaid the paperwork. When a title is missing, we have you sign a release of liability. That document shows you relinquished the hull so the boat is off your name for good.
Our boat removal crews in Marion County
Crews cover Marion County: Dunnellon, Belleview, Reddick and McIntosh. Summer heat and sudden tropical afternoon storms drive many calls this time of year. Water accumulates quickly in unattended hulls, pushing homeowners to clear their yards before plants and moisture destroy what is left of the frame.
