“The tenant left a jet ski in the weeds.” That is what the landlord told us when he called from Prichard. We drove out to find an 11 ft Yamaha WaveRunner VX sitting half in the brush along the rear tree line. The sun had turned the navy blue stripe chalky white, and rain had pooled inside the footwells.
Moving a personal watercraft usually takes two men, but the floor was completely rotten. Stepping into the tray would have put a foot right through the hull. Our crew laid down two wooden planks alongside the body to spread our weight. We cleared the thick briars with a hand cutter, hooked a winch line to the front eyelet, and dragged the unit backward onto our flatbed trailer without touching the soft bottom.
Back at our shop, we pulled the jet drive, stripped the remaining parts, and cut the fiberglass hull for recycling. Our price sheet lists boats under 20 feet at about $75 a foot. Call 833-658-4847 if you need boat removal in Prichard or anywhere in Mobile County.
In our experience, watercraft abandoned near property lines rot from the inside out during humid southern summers. Small hulls catch rain, fill up, and soft wood core breaks down fast under wet foam. Before any haul, we pump out hidden fuel tanks, drain engine oil, and remove the battery for safe disposal. We take the title if you have it, or sign a release of liability so the vessel comes off your name.

Boat disposal questions
How much does it cost to remove a boat?
We charge based on the total length of the vessel, its location, and the work needed to reach it. Small personal watercraft in a driveway cost less to haul than heavy hulls stuck in the mud. Call us for a quote based on your specific job.
How to get rid of a bad boat?
Call our crew to haul the hull away safely. We bring the right trucks, winch equipment, and hand tools to winch the vessel off your lawn. Our team handles the heavy lifting, hauls it away, and takes care of the proper disposal and recycling steps.
