This 21 ft Sylvan Mirage 820 sat on its trailer for three years without moving. The black hull and silver stripe still looked clean, but the owner simply stopped going out on the water.
Our crew arrived at the fenced self-storage lot in Watertown with a three-ton winch truck. The obstacle was a steep driveway emptying onto a narrow street with parked cars on both sides. We lowered the trailer jack to lower the hitch point, locked the safety chains, and used the winch line to ease the trailer down the incline step by step so the rear aluminum tubes would not scrape the asphalt.
We hauled the pontoon to a yard where mechanics rebuilt the outboard motor to sell it for parts. We cut the aluminum deck and tubes into sections and took the scrap to a recycling facility. Boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone, because size and setting change the work. If you have an unwanted hull in Jefferson County, call us at 833-658-4847.
In our experience, pontoons sitting outdoors through Wisconsin winter cycles trap water in the deck wood, which freezes and splits the seams. Before we tow any pontoon for proper disposal, we drain the fuel tanks, trap the engine oil, and pull the battery for hazardous materials recycling.

Before you call: two common questions
What happens to my boat after removal?
We take every vessel to our yard for dismantling. Our crew drains all hazardous fluids, removes reusable electronics or mechanical parts, and sorts the remaining materials. Metal hulls go to scrap recycling, while non-recyclable fiberglass goes to a landfill that accepts marine waste.
Can you remove a boat without a title?
Yes, we can handle the boat removal even if you mislaid the paperwork. When no title exists, our team provides a liability waiver form for you to sign, which officially documents that you transferred the vessel to us for haul away and disposal.
Boat removal around Watertown
Crews cover Jefferson County: Fort Atkinson, Jefferson, Lake Mills and Waterloo. Summer heat in June often pushes boat owners to clear out older pontoons and runabouts to stop paying monthly storage fees on craft they no longer take out on the lake.
