A ski boat sitting behind a privacy fence usually means someone forgot about summer a long time ago. A local landlord in Big Spring, TX called us to clear an old 19-foot white Correct Craft Sport Nautique from a residential backyard. The boat had sat on its trailer for years, and the white fiberglass hull was stained dark yellow at the waterline.
The landlord removed two fence panels so our truck could reach the yard. The trailer tires were flat, dry-rotted, and cracked straight down to the steel cords, so it would not roll. Our crew jacked up the axle, set heavy timber skids under the frame, and hooked our winch cable to the tongue. We pulled the trailer smoothly over the grass without digging up the lawn or dropping the back of the hull.
We towed the rig to our shop to pull the inboard engine and hardware for recycling, then hauled the hull to a scrapyard to be crushed. Our price sheet lists boats under 20 feet at about $75 a foot. Call 833-658-4847 if you need boat removal in Big Spring or Howard County.
In our experience, wet Texas springs and hot summer sun turn parked trailers into junk fast by rusting frames and rotting tires. As a rule, we drain all hazardous materials like remaining gas and crankcase oil and remove the marine battery before taking the vessel for disposal.

Boat disposal questions
What happens to my boat after removal?
We take the vessel to a facility for proper disposal and recycling. Our crew pulls usable metals, the battery, and the motor first for scrap or salvage. After we handle all hazardous materials, the empty fiberglass hull goes to a landfill or crusher.
Do I need a title to have my boat removed?
No title is required for us to haul your old vessel away. When you have the title, we take it from you on-site. If the paperwork is missing, we sign a release of liability so the boat is officially off your name.

Crews cover Howard County: Coahoma and Forsan. Summer heat and high humidity often cause standing water to collect inside covered hulls.
