The owner in Iselin, NJ tried listing his 18 ft Reinell on online boards for months. Nobody came for the white fiberglass runabout with its red boot stripe and old outboard. He had stopped going out on the water years ago, and the vessel just sat on its trailer taking up space on his gravel driveway. He finally called us to haul it away.
Getting the boat out was the tricky part. The rig sat behind a side gate that gave us only three inches of clearance on each side of the trailer tires. We backed our truck up to the fence line, unhooked the tongue, and hooked up a hand winch to control the roll. I walked the port side while my crewman guided the starboard fender so the metal hubs would not catch the wooden posts.
We hauled the vessel to a yard for proper disposal. The fiberglass hull went to a facility for recycling, and we cleaned up the trailer so it could be reused. Our price sheet lists boats under 20 feet at about $75 a foot. Call 833-658-4847 if you need boat removal in Middlesex County.
In our experience, leaving a vessel in a northern driveway all winter causes serious rot. Water settles in the floor, freezes, splits the gelcoat, and breaks down the core. Before we transport any vessel, our crew drains all fuel and oil, safely pulls the battery, and removes hazardous materials before recycling.

Before you call: two common questions
How to get rid of a broken boat?
Call our team to haul it away directly from your yard, storage lot, or driveway. We handle the winch work, towing, and fluid draining. Our crew takes care of proper disposal and sends the materials to the right salvage or recycling facilities.
Do I need a title to have my boat removed?
No, you do not always need a title. If you have the original title, we will take it from you during the job. If the paperwork is missing, we sign a release of liability so the boat is off your name for good.
