Neighbors noticed the burgundy hull sticking out of the brush line long before the HOA sent the letter. The owner kept his 20 ft MasterCraft ProStar 190 behind the house for years. Desert sun had ruined the white deck, and weeds grew around the trailer frame. He called our crew to haul the ski boat away before fines started.
The obstacle was getting the rig out of the backyard. Our crew pulled the trailer out of the deep brush using heavy straps and a winch. The tires were brittle from the heat, so we inflated them just enough to roll. Navigating the steep driveway onto a narrow Indio street took slow wheel work. We backed our hydraulic tilt trailer straight to the curb, lined up the winches, and pulled the boat aboard safely.
Since the fiberglass hull was still sound, we sold it to a local repair yard for parts and rebuild potential. Larger boats over 20 feet are quoted individually by phone since access and dimensions alter the labor. 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 Indio or anywhere in Riverside County.
In our experience, strong desert heat bakes abandoned vessels, ruining gelcoat and cracking tires until the rig is hard to move. We always drain residual fuel and engine oil, remove hazardous materials, and pull the battery for recycling. We take the title when you have one, or we sign a release of liability so the vessel is officially off your name.

Boat removal questions from Indio owners
How to get rid of a bad boat?
Call our crew to handle the entire process. We come to your property, load the vessel on our equipment, and haul it away. We take care of draining fluids, pulling batteries, and proper disposal or recycling so you do not have to drag it to a landfill yourself.
Can you get a boat out of my backyard?
Yes, we pull unwanted vessels out of backyards, side yards, and tight properties every week. Our crew uses portable winches, dollies, and heavy tow straps to move non-running trailers through gates or over dirt before loading them onto our transport rigs.
Boat disposal across Riverside County
Crews cover Riverside County: Palm Springs, La Quinta, Beaumont and Desert Hot Springs. Property owners across the Coachella Valley often call us for boat removal in early summer. Dry heat speeds up wear on parked trailers, and neighborhood associations push to clear visible junk from yards before winter residents return.
