“I need this ski boat gone before the movers arrive next week.” That was the call from Middle Smithfield. The owner had a 20 ft Ski Nautique 196 sitting on a gravel driveway beside his house. The fiberglass hull was two-tone white and light blue. He was moving out of state and could not haul the inboard setup down the road.
The problem was under the boat. The trailer frame had rusted completely through at the tongue, so we could not hitch it to our truck. Our crew jacked up the front frame and secured steel channel iron over the break with heavy U-bolts. That gave us enough strength to winch the boat and trailer together onto our tilt-deck trailer. Concrete pavers kept our jacks from sinking into the loose gravel.
We hauled the rig to a salvage yard. The crew stripped out the inboard motor for metal recycling and crushed the hull for proper disposal. The owner saved money because the yard could clean up and reuse the trailer axles. Boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone, because size and setting change the work.

In our experience, wet leaves and snow sit on driveway boats all winter in Pennsylvania. That trapped water freezes, breaks open the floor, and rots hidden wood. Before we tow any hull away, our crew drains all fuel and oil and removes the battery for safe processing. We take the title when you have it, or we sign a release of liability to clear your name.

Two questions we hear on jobs like this
Can you take a boat to the junk yard?
Yes, we haul unwanted boats directly to local yards for disposal. Our crew handles the loading, transport, and drain of hazardous materials like fuel and oil. We make sure the facility accepts fiberglass and metal before we pull onto the road.
How much does it cost to junk a fiberglass boat?
The price depends on the length of the hull, the motor type, and where the vessel sits. A trailer that rolls easily costs less to haul than one stuck in the dirt. We review these details with you upfront so you receive an accurate price before we start.
