Title reads MasterCraft ProStar 190, 20 feet long, dark green and white hull. The owner called our crew after his home HOA sent a violation letter about keeping it in his driveway. He had moved it to a fenced self-storage lot in Tamiami, FL, but the monthly storage fees were adding up fast. He wanted the inboard ski boat gone for good.
The boat had sat outside in Miami-Dade County long enough for half a tank of gas to go stale. Fuel that old smells like varnish and creates a fire hazard during transport. We hooked up a ground wire to stop static sparks, then pumped six gallons of old gas straight into clear safety cans using a hand transfer pump. After draining the tank, we checked the trailer tires, pumped them to forty pounds, and hooked up our winch truck.
We towed the hull to a facility where our crew stripped the usable hardware and engine parts. The fiberglass was sliced into small sections and hauled off for proper disposal. Boats over twenty feet need a quick call to price, because size and access change the haul. Boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone, because size and setting change the work. Call 833-658-4847 to clear out your yard.
As a rule, we see intense Florida sun chalk the gelcoat while heavy afternoon rains fill uncarpeted floorboards. Water collects fast inside open hulls, making old boats heavy and unstable on a trailer. Before recycling any hull, our crew drains all fuel lines, pumps the engine oil, and pulls the battery to keep hazardous materials out of ground soil. We collect the title when you have it, or help you fill out a release of liability so the craft is off your name.

Boat disposal questions
Can you take a boat to the junk yard?
We take unwanted boats to local facilities that process fiberglass and metal instead of standard auto junkyards. Most local scrap yards refuse fiberglass hulls. Our crew handles the towing, strips the usable materials, and makes sure the remaining hull goes through proper disposal.
What if my boat is on a trailer?
We tow the boat right on your trailer if the tires and axle are safe for the road. If the trailer is rotted or missing tires, our crew uses flatbed winch trucks to pull the entire rig out safely without damaging your driveway.
Boat removal throughout Miami-Dade County
Crews cover Miami-Dade County: Miami, Hialeah, Miami Gardens and Homestead. Summer heat and high humidity bring a surge of boat owners cleaning out storage spaces. Rainy months cause stagnant water to collect in forgotten hulls, creating breeding grounds for mosquitoes and triggering local code enforcement notices across the county.
