The neighbors thought the detached garage in Graham was just for lawnmowers. Then our crew pulled out a 20 foot black and silver Ski Nautique 196. The owner was moving out of state and needed the fiberglass ski boat gone before closing on the house.
The boat barely fit inside the building, and the side gate was only a few inches wider than the trailer frame. We checked the trailer tires for air and oiled the wheel bearings before moving anything. A dry bearing can lock up on a tight turn and tear up the yard. Our crew guided the rig through the narrow gate by hand, using a small spotter wheel on the tongue to keep the hull off the fence posts.
We hauled the boat to a salvage center where workers process fiberglass for recycling. We saved the trailer, cleaned the frame, and prepped it for reuse. Boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone, because size and setting change the work. Call 833-658-4847 if you need boat removal in Graham or Alamance County.
In our experience, long stays in dark garages across North Carolina allow standing water to rot floors and rust old trailers. We always drain the fuel tank, collect the engine oil, and pull the battery before sending a hull to a recycler. We take the title when there is one, or we sign a release of liability so the craft is off your name.

Questions from the phone this week
Can you take a boat to the junk yard?
Yes, we tow or haul unwanted vessels directly to disposal sites. We handle the loading and transport, then ensure proper disposal at a facility built to break down fiberglass, metal, and plastic safely.
What if my boat is on a trailer?
We remove boats on trailers all the time. If the trailer rolls, we hitch it to our truck. If the tires are flat or the axle is rusted through, our crew pulls the entire unit onto a flatbed trailer.
Boat disposal across Alamance County
Crews cover Alamance County: Elon, Haw River, Green Level and Swepsonville. Hot early summer weather makes forgotten gear deteriorate quickly in closed spaces. Property sales and relocations lead many local owners to clear out long-stored watercraft before moving day.
