Removing a 19 ft Correct Craft Ski Boat in Perry, GA

The boat owner called us in June and asked right away if he needed a title to haul off his old 19 ft Correct Craft Sport Nautique. He had a white inboard ski boat sitting in a fenced self-storage lot in Perry, but the hull had turned yellow at the waterline and neighbors complained about mosquitoes breeding in the rain sitting in the floor.

Our crew drove down to Houston County with a heavy winch truck and plywood mats. The yard ground was soft mud from recent summer storms, and a heavy truck would sink past the rims on the first try. We laid three lines of thick plywood mats across the mud to build a solid track. We attached our winch cable to the bow eye and pulled the hull slowly onto the flatbed trailer without leaving deep ruts in the lot.

We hauled the ski boat to a landfill that takes fiberglass and sent the metal fittings for scrap recycling. For hulls under 20 feet, our base rate is around $75 a foot. Call 833-658-4847 if you need a boat removal crew in Perry or anywhere in Houston County.

In our experience, strong summer heat and rain in Georgia turn trapped water into a breeding ground for pests while ruining the fiberglass. We pull the battery first, then drain every drop of fuel and motor oil for proper disposal before cutting up the hull. When the owner has a title, we take it on the spot to close out the boat’s record.

What Perry boat owners ask us

How much does it cost to junk a fiberglass boat?

We price each boat removal by length, weight, location, and how hard it is to winch out. Small ski boats under 20 feet cost less than large cabin cruisers. Call us with your boat details, and we will give you a clear price before driving out.

What is the procedure for boat disposal?

We bring our own truck and gear directly to your property or storage lot. Our crew drains hazardous materials, handles the winch pull, and hauls the hull away. We take the boat to a recycling facility for metals or a landfill that handles heavy fiberglass.

Junk boat removal across Houston County

Crews cover Houston County: Centerville. High humidity and sudden rainstorms cause old hulls to collect water quickly during the summer months. Storage yard managers and local boat owners frequently call us to clean up neglected craft before code enforcement or property owners write up citations for standing water.
