A fallen tree limb crushed the deck of a 20 ft Malibu Response, so the owner picked up the phone. The metallic blue fiberglass boat sat in the corner of a farm field in Commerce, CA. Sun had already turned the gelcoat chalky before the wood came down across the hull.
Our crew backed our truck into the dirt to reach the rig. The tires on the double-axle trailer were flat and cracked down to the cords from dry rot. Rolling it would have spun the rubber right off the rims. We used heavy bottle jacks to raise each axle, put our own solid transport wheels on the hubs, and winched the package up onto our tilt deck.
We hauled the ski boat straight to a facility where our team stripped the inboard motor and metal hardware for parts, then cut the hull for recycling. Boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone, because size and setting change the work. If you have an unwanted hull in Commerce or Los Angeles County, call 833-658-4847.
In our experience, strong California heat bakes fiberglass, splits trailer tires, and makes old plastic brittle long before the frame gives out. Before cutting any hull, our crew pulls the battery and drains all fuel, crankcase oil, and hazardous materials for safe disposal. We take the title when the boat owner has it, or we sign a release of liability so the vessel is off your name.

Questions from the phone this week
How to get rid of a broken boat?
Call us to schedule a haul. Our crew pulls the vessel from your farm, yard, or driveway using our own heavy trucks and winch gear. We handle hazardous materials, strip reusable metal, and haul the rest to a proper disposal or recycling center.
What if my boat engine is inoperable?
We tow and haul non-running vessels every week. An inoperable inboard motor or seized outboard does not stop our boat removal work. We use specialized winches to pull dead rigs onto our trailers without needing motor power or working trailer tires.
Junk boat removal across Los Angeles County
Crews cover Los Angeles County: Los Angeles, Palmdale, Santa Clarita and Long Beach. Late spring heat brings many calls from boat owners who find winter storm damage or sun-rotted tires when trying to move an old vessel out of dry storage.
If a boat like this is taking up space in Commerce, call 833-658-4847. Tell us the length and where it sits.
