This 19 ft Correct Craft Sport Nautique spent its best years pulling water skiers. An insurance company wrote the black and silver fiberglass hull off after storm damage, and they needed it gone.
The inboard ski boat sat on a sandy lot near the water in Lake Charles, LA. Soft ground meant our heavy truck would sink right to the axles if we backed it in. Our crew laid down four wooden equipment pads to make a solid track for the trailer tires. We hooked our winch line to the frame, pulled the rig onto firm dirt, and pinned it to our hitch without digging up the yard.
We towed the boat to a facility where our crew salvaged the engine and steel trailer. The crushed fiberglass went to a local scrap yard that accepts boat hulls. Our price sheet lists boats under 20 feet at about $75 a foot. Call 833-658-4847 if you need boat removal in Calcasieu Parish.
In our experience, high humidity and summer rain in this area quickly turn a parked hull into a tub of foul water and algae. Before any hull goes for recycling, we pump out the fuel, drain the engine oil, and pull the battery for proper disposal of hazardous materials.

Questions from the phone this week
Can you remove a boat without a title?
Yes, we can clear a boat without a title. When no paperwork exists, we sign a release of liability with you so the vessel is officially off your name. Call us to discuss your situation.
How much does it cost to remove a boat?
Boat removal costs depend on length, location, and the condition of the hull or trailer. Boats sitting on soft mud or submerged in water require extra gear. Call 833-658-4847, tell us what you have, and we will give you a clear price before we travel.

Crews cover Calcasieu Parish: Sulphur, Vinton, Westlake and Iowa. Heavy summer rain, intense sun, and Gulf humidity cause fiberglass gelcoat to chalk and fill abandoned hulls with water quickly. Landowners usually call us during June to clear out these yard hazards before hurricane season brings stronger weather into the area.
