A neighbor down the street got tired of staring at a faded runabout sitting over the fence. The HOA sent the owner a violation letter, so he called us to get the boat gone. It was a 17 ft Glasspar Seafair with a white fiberglass hull, a teal stripe, and an old outboard hanging off the back of the hull.
The boat sat in a fenced self-storage lot in Westwood Lakes, FL. When our crew arrived, we checked the frame and saw the trailer tongue was rusted completely through. Rolling it onto a winch bed like that would have snapped the iron. We slid a steel skid under the front frame, secured it with heavy straps, and used our winch to pull the skid and trailer up the ramp together without dropping the nose.
Our crew hauled the rig away. The trailer was cleaned up and prepped to be reused, and the fiberglass hull went for proper disposal and recycling. Our price sheet lists boats under 20 feet at about $75 a foot. Call 833-658-4847 if you need boat removal in Westwood Lakes or anywhere in Miami-Dade County.
In our experience, June heat, high humidity, and afternoon summer storms quickly turn stagnant water inside a boat into a heavy, algae-filled mess that rots trailer metal from the inside out. Before any hull goes for scrap, we pump out all leftover fuel and oil and pull the battery to safely manage hazardous materials. We take the title when the owner has it, or we sign a release of liability so the boat is officially off your name.

What Westwood Lakes boat owners ask us
How to get rid of a bad boat?
Call us to schedule a haul away. Boat owners do not need to tow the vessel anywhere themselves. We bring the right trucks and equipment to tow, load, and transport the vessel from your yard or storage lot directly to a proper disposal facility.
Can you remove a boat without a title?
Yes, we can perform boat removal even if you mislaid the paperwork. When no title is available, we fill out a release of liability with you so the vessel is legally cleared from your name and responsibility before we tow it away.
Where our crews work around Westwood Lakes
Crews cover Miami-Dade County: Miami, Hialeah, Miami Gardens and Homestead. Early summer humidity and intense sun cause rapid gelcoat chalking and fast mildew growth. Many storage facilities and local property owners call us for boat removal when wet season weather turns unused boats into eyesores that trigger local fine notices.
