Neighbors in Mansfield, MA noticed the gray 19 ft Correct Craft Sport Nautique sitting behind a fence for a long time. A local widow called us to haul it away after her husband passed. The ski boat had a sound fiberglass hull with black trim, but the interior was worn out and taking up prime yard space next to the garage.
The obstacle was height. Low oak limbs and an overhead power line crossed the narrow gap between the house and the property line. Our crew backed a flatbed trailer close to the gate, rigged a manual winching strap to lower the tongue angle, and pulled the boat clear without brushing the wire or the trees. We always keep a spotter watching the top clearance when working close to live lines.
We sold the boat to a local repair yard that refurbishes old inboard hulls instead of taking it to a landfill. Our price sheet lists boats under 20 feet at about $75 a foot. Call 833-658-4847 if you need a boat removal crew in Bristol County.
In our experience, New England winter freeze and thaw cycles wreck neglected hulls. Water left in the bilge freezes, cracks the gelcoat, and soaks the wood core. Heavy snow loads tear old canvas covers and let rain right into the floor. Before any hull goes to recycling, our crew drains all fuel and oil into containers and removes the lead battery for proper disposal. We take the title when you have one, or we sign a release of liability so the craft is completely off your name.

Boat removal questions from Mansfield owners
How much does it cost to junk a fiberglass boat?
Final cost depends on the length of the hull and how hard it is to tow out of your property. We charge by the foot, plus any extra labor needed for sunken hulls or stuck trailers. We give you a plain quote before we haul anything away.
Can you get a boat out of my backyard?
Yes, our crew removes boats from tight backyards, side yards, and gardens. We bring winches, small dollies, and ramp tracks to pull trailers over soft grass or narrow gaps between buildings without tearing up your lawn.
Junk boat removal across Bristol County
Crews cover Bristol County: Taunton, Fall River, Attleboro and New Bedford. Early summer warm weather moves many homeowners to clear out old project boats sitting beside garages. Rain and humidity in this region quickly turn neglected fiberglass hulls into breeding spots for insects.
