We pulled up to the apartment complex parking lot in Lyndon and found a tan 19 ft Correct Craft Sport Nautique sitting on a rusty trailer. The brown accent stripe was faded, and dark green water filled the floor. Mosquitoes were buzzing around it, which prompted the landlord to call us after neighbors complained.
Our crew needed to hook up the trailer, but the wood floor inside the fiberglass hull was completely rotten. Stepping into the boat would have sent a foot right through the soft deck. We used long wood planks laid across the gunwales to spread our weight, reached the drain plug from the outside, and pumped the dirty water into holding tanks. Once empty, we winch-strapped the hull tight to the bunk boards so it would not shift on the road.
We hauled the ski boat to a facility for proper disposal and recycling, and the owner kept the cleaned trailer for another project. Our price sheet lists boats under 20 feet at about $75 a foot. If you need boat removal in Lyndon or anywhere in Jefferson County, call us at 833-658-4847.
In our experience, ski boats left sitting outdoors collect rain during wet Kentucky springs, which rots internal wood and breeds mosquitoes once summer heat hits. Before any boat leaves the lot, we drain all residual fuel and oil and pull the battery to safely manage hazardous materials. We handle the paperwork by taking the title, or signing a release of liability if no title exists.

How to get rid of a bad boat?
Call us to handle the full boat removal process. We tow the vessel from your property, prep it by removing fuel and electronics, and haul it to a facility for recycling or disposal. We take the title or provide a release of liability form.
What if my boat is on a trailer?
We can tow the boat off your property directly on its trailer if the tires and frame are stable. If the trailer is unsafe or rusted out, our crew uses winches to drag the hull safely onto our flatbed trailer for transport.
