A 1993 MasterCraft ProStar 190 sat on a concrete pad behind a Clarkston duplex. The white hull had a teal stripe faded pale from years in the sun. The property owner needed the yard clear because the house was going up for sale.
The main problem was a rotten floor that gave way under a boot. Walking inside to unbolt fixtures was not safe. Our crew laid wide plywood sheets across the gunnels to spread our weight from above. We pumped two gallons of dark standing water out of the hull, unhooked the battery, and drained the fuel line into sealed cans. Once the heavy parts were off, we used a reciprocating saw with heavy carbide blades to cut the fiberglass into eight foot sections that our crew could lift safely.
We hauled the sliced fiberglass sections to a landfill that takes fiberglass, and sent the inboard engine block and hardware to metal recycling. Boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone, because size and setting change the work. If you need boat removal in Clarkston or DeKalb County, call 833-658-4847.
In our experience, strong summer heat and humidity speed up wood rot under a wet carpet, making old decks unsafe. We always drain fuel and motor oil into approved tanks and remove batteries before salvage or recycling starts.

Boat disposal questions
Can you take a boat to the junk yard?
Yes, we chop unwanted boats into manageable pieces and haul them away. We bring the metal hardware and old engines to scrap yards for recycling. The remaining fiberglass hull goes directly to a local landfill that accepts fiberglass waste.
Can you remove a boat without a title?
Yes, we can handle boat removal even if the original title is missing. When there is no title available, we sign a release of liability form with you. That document proves you gave up the vessel and keeps your name clear.
