Neighbors watched the burgundy and white ski boat sit on the lot for three years. The landlord finally took over the Oakdale, CA property and wanted the land cleared. The 19 ft Correct Craft Sport Nautique had a solid fiberglass hull, but dry rot had ruined the floor. He needed a complete boat removal before new tenants arrived.
The trailer tires were flat and buried three inches deep in dry sand. Backing a heavy truck onto that loose dirt would sink the back tires immediately. Our crew laid down four thick steel traction ramps to bridge the soft ground. We hooked an electric winch to the tongue and pulled the frame straight onto the steel plates without spinning a single truck tire.
We hauled the ski boat to our shop to pull the inboard engine and hardware for salvage. The remaining hull went to a scrap yard that handles fiberglass disposal. Our price sheet lists boats under 20 feet at about $75 a foot. Call 833-658-4847 if you have a boat in Stanislaus County that needs to go.
As a rule, we see intense summer heat ruin sitting vessels fast in this valley. Sun bakes the gelcoat, cracks the upholstery, and rots the trailer rubber long before the fiberglass fails. Before recycling any hull, our crew drains all fuel, flushes motor oil, and removes batteries for safe disposal. We take the title when you have it, or we sign a release of liability so the boat is off your name.

Before you call: two common questions
How much does it cost to remove a boat?
Our price sheet lists boats under 20 feet at about $75 a foot. The total depends on the size of the hull, accessibility, and whether the vessel sits on a good trailer or needs full heavy equipment extraction.
What if my boat engine is inoperable?
We remove boats with non-running, seized, or missing engines all the time. Our crew uses heavy winches and specialized gear to pull dead vessels onto our trailers safely, even if the inboard or outboard motor does not turn over.
Removing boats across Stanislaus County
Crews cover Stanislaus County: Modesto, Turlock, Ceres and Patterson. June brings relentless heat to the valley, which pushes property owners to clear out fire hazards and overgrown lots. Landlords often hire us to clear junk vessels left behind by past tenants before the high summer arrives.
