We pulled up to the driveway in Ridgeland and saw a 14 ft Tracker Grizzly sitting on a sagging trailer next to the house. The dark green aluminum hull had faded, and the white deck was covered in sap and pine needles. The city sent a code enforcement notice, so the owner needed the boat off the grass and gravel fast.
The main obstacle was the trailer frame. Moisture had rusted the tongue completely through, so we could not hook it to our truck. Our crew jacked up the front axle, slid heavy timber under the frame, and winched the boat and trailer together onto our flatbed. Tying down a rotted trailer takes extra strap tension at the axle mounts so nothing shifts on the road.
We hauled the aluminum hull to a scrap yard for metal recycling, and a local mechanic bought the clean trailer parts. Our price sheet lists boats under 20 feet at about $75 a foot. Call 833-658-4847 for boat removal in Ridgeland or Madison County.
In our experience, June heat and summer rain fill open hulls fast in Mississippi. Standing water speeds up corrosion on steel trailers and turns leftover leaves into sludge. Before any boat goes to scrap, we pump out the fuel, drain the engine oil, and pull the battery for proper disposal of hazardous materials.

Boat removal questions from Ridgeland owners
What happens to my boat after removal?
We sort the materials at our yard. Aluminum and steel hulls go to scrap metal recycling facilities. Fiberglass boats are stripped of all hardware, drained of fluids, and taken to a landfill. We salvage any working motors or hardware whenever possible to reduce waste.
Can you remove a boat without a title?
Yes, we can handle boat removal without a title in many cases. If you do not have the paperwork, our crew signs a release of liability with you on site. This transfers responsibility and keeps your records clear with local authorities.
