Removing a Damaged Kawasaki Jet Ski in Texarkana, TX

The soft dirt beside the gravel driveway would have trapped our heavy truck right up to the axles. That was the first thing we saw when we pulled up to the house. Resting on that ground was an 11 ft Kawasaki Jet Ski STX with a faded dark green fiberglass hull and a white deck.

A thick tree limb had come down across the seat during a spring storm. The owner needed the wrecked personal watercraft gone, so our crew backed the trailer down the firm gravel path instead of turning onto the grass. We hooked a heavy strap to the front eye, laid plastic skids on the soil, and used a hand winch to slide the hull smoothly onto our trailer without tearing up the yard.

Our crew hauled the jet ski to a scrap yard where workers stripped the motor for parts and cut the hull for fiberglass recycling. Our price sheet lists boats under 20 feet at about $75 a foot. Boat owners in Texarkana or anywhere in Bowie County can call 833-658-4847 to clear out an unwanted craft.

In our experience, humid summers and damp ground in this region rot wood decks and rust trailer frames fast. We drain the fuel, pump out the engine oil, and disconnect the battery for proper disposal before sending any boat for scrap. We handle the paperwork by taking the title, or if it is missing, we sign a release of liability.

What people ask before a boat leaves

How to get rid of a broken boat?

Call us to handle the job from start to finish. We bring the right truck, winch the hull off your land, pull any hazardous materials, and tow it away for scrap or disposal so you do not have to tow an unsafe trailer yourself.

Can you remove a boat without a title?

Yes, we pick up vessels when the original title is missing. Our crew brings a release of liability for you to sign, which stops future liability and proves you gave up ownership of the craft when we haul it away.

Crews cover Bowie County: Nash, New Boston, Wake Village and Hooks. Heavy spring rains leave standing water in backyards, and high humidity causes quick rust on stored metal.
