When we pulled up to the property in Tavares, the garage door was wide open, showing a black and silver MasterCraft ProStar 190 squeezed tight between two wooden walls. A builder had bought the property to clear the lot, but this 20 ft fiberglass ski boat was sitting on a flat tire and blocking the work. The builder did not have a truck to tow it, so he called our crew for boat removal.
We backed our tow vehicle up to the slab, but before we hooked up, we saw a heavy swarm of paper wasps flying around the steering console. We sprayed the nest and let the air clear before reaching inside to release the emergency brake and set a new heavy-duty winch strap. We inflated the soft trailer tire with a portable tank, stepped clear of the low doorway, and winched the rig slowly out into the driveway.
Our crew pulled the boat to a scrap yard in Lake County. The engine and trailer were salvaged for parts, and the crushed hull went for proper disposal. Boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone, because size and setting change the work. Call us at 833-658-4847 to set up boat removal in Tavares.
In our experience, pulling boats out of enclosed spaces in June means dealing with heat, high humidity, and hidden insect nests that thrive in dark corners. Before we haul any ski boat to a recycler, we drain all hazardous materials including remaining fuel and motor oil, and we remove the heavy lead battery. We take the title when the owner has it, or we sign a release of liability so the boat is off your name.

What people ask before a boat leaves
How much does it cost to junk a fiberglass boat?
We give a clear price quote before we haul the vessel away. The final cost depends on the length of the hull, the location on your property, and whether the boat sits on a rolling trailer or needs to be lifted off the ground. Call us to discuss your setup.
How to get rid of a broken boat?
Call our crew to handle the entire job from start to finish. We bring the right trucks, winch equipment, and safety gear to haul the vessel off your property. We recycle the metal hardware and take the fiberglass hull to a proper disposal facility.
Where our crews work around Tavares
Crews cover Lake County: Leesburg, Groveland, Clermont and Mascotte. In the summer heat, rain fills open hulls quickly and mildew spreads across vinyl seats within days. Property owners often call us to haul away old boats before severe summer storms turn a parked trailer into a muddy, waterlogged burden on the yard.
