June in Simpsonville brings thick humidity and quick storm clouds. We hit the site right after a heavy rain left the sand soft and wet underfoot. A homeowner called us out because a falling oak limb snapped over his 17 ft Glasspar Seafair. The branch cracked the deck, tore through the tan fiberglass hull, and pinned the old outboard under heavy wood.
The owner wanted the wreckage off his sandy lot near the water, but the trailer tires were completely flat and cracked down to the cords. Rolling it out on rubber was not going to work. Our crew cut the tree limb into manageable sections using a chainsaw. We then placed thick wooden skids beneath the frame to keep the wheels from sinking into the wet sand. We used our winch to pull the rig onto our flatbed.
We took the mess to a landfill that takes fiberglass to dispose of the broken hull properly. The old outboard went to metal recycling. Our price sheet lists boats under 20 feet at about $75 a foot. If you have an unwanted hull sitting in Simpsonville or Greenville County, give us a call at 833-658-4847.
In our experience, summer heat and frequent rainstorms speed up hull damage once the outer gelcoat cracks open. Moisture gets inside, weeds grow through open decks, and stagnant water weighs down the structure. Before we haul any vessel away, our crew pumps out remaining fuel, drains the motor oil, and disconnects the battery for safe disposal.

Questions owners ask about a job like this
Can you remove a boat without a title?
Yes, we can handle the job even if you lost the original paperwork. When a title is missing, we bring a release of liability for you to sign. That document transfers responsibility to us and shows you no longer own the vessel.
Is my old boat worth anything?
Most old fiberglass hulls have zero resale value once the floor rots or the motor stops running. Scrap yards do not pay for fiberglass, and salvage yards charge to crush them. We provide honest estimates based on the labor and transport needed to haul them off.
Junk boat removal across Greenville County
Crews cover Greenville County: Greenville, Mauldin, Travelers Rest and Taylors. High summer humidity and sudden weather changes lead many boat owners to clean out their yards. Uncovered vessels quickly fill with rainwater, making them heavy, difficult to tow, and prime targets for mold and decay.
