The rusted dual axle trailer sitting in the mud was the real problem. A 21 ft Bennington pontoon sat on top of it with a faded sea-foam green hull and oxidized aluminum tubes. The owner in Warrensburg called us after a city code enforcement notice left him with a tight deadline.
Spring rains had turned the yard around the boat into deep muck. We hooked our winch line to the trailer frame to keep it from sinking deeper, then placed heavy traction boards under the tires. To negotiate the steep driveway leading onto the narrow street, we used a heavy hitch extension to keep the truck on flat pavement while guiding the trailer up the slope.
We brought the pontoon to a yard where our crew stripped the outboard motor and saved usable brass fittings. The aluminum deck frame and pontoons went to recycling for scrap metal. Larger boats need custom planning, so jobs over twenty feet get a custom quote over the phone. If you need boat removal in Warrensburg or Johnson County, call 833-658-4847.
In our experience, humid summers and wet springs in Missouri accelerate rust on trailer frames and rot wooden deck boards. Standing water in the pontoons also creates a breeding ground for pests. Before any salvage or recycling begins, we always drain all fuel and oil and remove the lead battery.

Before you call: two common questions
What is the procedure for boat disposal?
We haul the vessel from your property using our own trucks and winches. Our crew strips hazardous materials like oil, gas, and batteries. Then we break down the hull, separating clean aluminum or scrap metal from waste before taking the rest for proper disposal.
How much does it cost to remove a boat?
The price depends on the length of the vessel, the location, and whether it sits on a usable trailer or blocking blocks. We calculate costs before we start based on the equipment needed for safe boat removal. Call us to discuss your setup.
Boat removal throughout Johnson County
Crews cover Johnson County: Knob Noster, Holden, Leeton and Chilhowee. Early summer calls often come after heavy rain reveals rotted decks or forgotten trailers sinking into wet grass. City notices usually prompt boat owners to clear out these yard hazards before heat and weeds make towing harder.
