An elderly relative bought this 11 ft Sea-Doo brand new and parked it in a back garage years ago. Nobody in the family rode personal watercraft, so the sea-foam green fiberglass hull sat forgotten until the home was sold. The new owner called our crew to haul the oxidized craft away so he could use the space.
The boat sat on wooden blocks and old car tires inside a detached garage with barely three inches of clearance on either side. It had no trailer. We backed our flatbed up to the garage door and laid down heavy plastic sliders under the jet drive and hull belly. Our crew used a portable hydraulic hand winch to slide the hull smoothly out of the bay without scratching the door frame or scuffing the concrete floor.
Once out in the driveway, we strapped the vessel to our bed for proper disposal, while the owner kept the old tires for trash day. Our price sheet lists boats under 20 feet at about $75 a foot. Call 833-658-4847 if you need boat removal in Walpole or anywhere in Norfolk County.
In our experience, watercraft stored inside cold, damp outbuildings often trap humidity that rots internal foam even without direct rainfall. Before any hull goes to recycling, our crew drains all leftover fuel, clears the crankcase oil, and pulls the starter battery for safety. We process the paperwork by taking the title, or signing a release of liability if the title is missing.

Questions from the phone this week
What is the procedure for boat disposal?
We haul the craft from your yard, garage, or slip on our equipment. Our crew extracts all hazardous materials like gas, engine oil, and batteries. Then we transport the stripped hull to a solid waste facility or scrap facility that takes fiberglass and metal.
How much does it cost to junk a fiberglass boat?
The price depends mostly on the length of the vessel, its location, and whether it sits on a usable trailer. Small watercraft under 20 feet cost significantly less to move than heavy cruisers that require crane lifts or special highway permits.
Where our crews work around Walpole
Crews cover Norfolk County: Franklin Town, Weymouth Town, Quincy and Braintree Town. Early summer cleanouts bring many calls as residents prepare homes for sale or clear out inherited outbuildings. Winters in this area force moisture into unheated sheds, making old fiberglass hulls a hazard that homeowners want cleared before warm weather arrives.
