A homeowner in West Point needed space behind his house for a new craft. He called our crew to clear out an old 14 ft Lowe 1448 jon boat. The white aluminum hull had turned yellow at the waterline, and a small outboard motor was still clamped to the back. It sat in the tree line, half covered by wild brush.
The main obstacle was the boat trailer. The winch had fully seized, and the crank handle was completely rusted through. Our crew set up a portable hand puller with high-test straps anchored directly to our tow vehicle. We pulled the hull clear of the thicket without puncturing the aluminum on hidden roots. We greased the trailer axle hubs on the spot so the tires would roll onto our flatbed without dragging frame metal across the dirt.
We hauled the rig back to our shop for teardown. We salvaged the outboard motor, rebuilt the carburetor, and resold it to a local angler. We sold the stripped aluminum hull for scrap metal recycling. Our price sheet lists boats under 20 feet at about $75 a foot. Call 833-658-4847 if you need a boat hauled off your property in Davis County.
In our experience, hard Utah sun and dry summer heat crack old rubber tires and dry out wheel bearings fast. Moving a boat that sat for years requires checking the tires and hubs before dragging it onto a trailer. Our crew always drains the fuel, flushes the motor oil, and pulls the battery for hazardous materials disposal before recycling any hull metal.

Boat disposal questions
Can you get a boat out of my backyard?
Yes, we pull boats out of backyards, side yards, and tree lines every week. Our crew brings winches, ramps, and portable pulling gear to haul boats through tight spaces without damaging your lawn or surrounding trees. Call us to schedule your boat removal.
Can you remove a boat without a title?
Yes, we regularly take boats without a title. When you do not have the paperwork, we sign a release of liability with you on site. This step protects you and ensures the craft is properly removed from your name.
