The neighbors thought the blue hull behind the wooden fence was never going to move. It was a 20 ft Malibu Response ski boat with metallic blue fiberglass that had turned chalky under the sun. A home builder bought the lot and needed the yard cleared right away. He called our crew for boat removal before his digging machines arrived.
The big problem was under the floor. The fuel tank held a half tank of old gas that had been sitting for years. Before we could haul the hull, we pumped the gas into approved transfer tanks using a small hand-primed suction pump. We removed the drained tank from the frame. We unbolted the fence panels, hooked our winch to the inboard engine mounts, and pulled the hull out onto our trailer without hitting the posts.
Our crew cut the fiberglass hull into sections and hauled them to a landfill that takes fiberglass waste. We brought the inboard motor and metal hardware to a scrap yard for recycling. Boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone because size and setting change the work. Call us at 833-658-4847 for boat removal in Lansing and Leavenworth County.
In our experience, hot Kansas summers make old fuel inside sitting boats a serious fire risk. Gas sours quickly, so proper disposal of fuel, crankcase oil, and lead batteries happens before any cutting or heavy transport begins. We clear those hazardous materials to keep the job site safe.

Boat removal questions from Lansing owners
What if my boat is on a trailer?
We can tow the boat away on your trailer if the tires and axle are safe for the road. If the trailer has flat tires or heavy rust, our crew can load the entire rig onto our flatbed truck for safe haul away.
Do I need a title to have my boat removed?
No. If you have the title, we collect it during the job. If the paperwork is missing, we provide a release of liability so our company takes full responsibility for the vessel and it gets cleared from your name.

Crews cover Leavenworth County: Leavenworth, Basehor, Tonganoxie and Linwood. Summer heat and wet spring weather rot wooden floors and cause rust on sitting trailers across the area. Landowners and builders frequently reach out when clearing newly purchased lots or old family yards before construction starts.
