Two dry tires blew out the moment we hooked the winch line to the frame. The rubber had cracked down to the cords from sitting in the dust, leaving the rims resting on the dirt inside a fenced self-storage lot. Underneath that rotted trailer sat a 22 ft Sun Tracker Party Barge 20 with sea-foam green paint and oxidized aluminum tubes. The owner needed the pontoon hauled away because his house was going up for sale and the monthly lot fees were adding up.
Our crew jacked up the frame one side at a time and bolted on two heavy duty spares from our truck. We inflated the remaining tires just enough to roll, then pulled the rig out into the driveway using a snatch block to clear the narrow chainlink gate. Dry rubber often hides rust inside the wheel bearings, so we greased the hubs before pulling the rig onto our flatbed trailer.
The aluminum hull was still solid, so we sold the pontoon to a local repair yard for parts and rebuildable metal. Boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone because the setting and total size change the work required. Call 833-658-4847 to schedule boat removal in Millcreek.
In our experience, hard sun and dry heat quickly destroy rubber tires, split vinyl seating, and turn gelcoat into powder across Salt Lake County. Before any boat goes for scrap or recycling, our crew strips the hazardous materials by draining the fuel tank, pumping out the engine oil, and pulling the lead acid battery. We take the title when you have it, and if the paper is lost, we sign a release of liability so the craft is removed from your name.

Questions from the phone this week
What is the procedure for boat disposal?
We haul the craft from your yard, storage unit, or dock directly to a processing facility. Our crew removes the motor, drains all fluids, disconnects the batteries, and sorts the metal from the fiberglass hull for proper disposal and recycling.
Can you get a boat out of my backyard?
We can pull craft out of tight backyards, side yards, and carports. Our crew uses portable jacks, winch lines, and dollies to guide the boat around trees, fences, and narrow structures without damaging your property.
Boat removal throughout Salt Lake County
Crews cover Salt Lake County: Salt Lake City, West Valley City, West Jordan and South Jordan. Summer heat and strong sun often push property owners to clean out old storage spaces and clear off driveways before listing homes on the market.
