The family had listed the 20 ft MasterCraft ProStar 190 online for weeks, but nobody wanted an inherited project. It sat on a sandy lot near the water in Tillmans Corner, AL. The white and light blue fiberglass hull had been left out in the Gulf Coast summer weather. They called our crew to get the unwanted boat off the property.
The real trouble was underneath. The single-axle trailer frame had rusted straight through at the tongue, so hooking it to a standard hitch was impossible. We slid heavy steel beams beneath the main trailer rails to bridge the broken metal and clamped them tight. Our driver backed our winch truck into the soft sand, hooked to our steel bridge, and pulled the entire rig onto our flatbed trailer without dropping the hull into the dirt.
We hauled the boat to a facility for proper disposal, where the fiberglass was cut down for disposal and metal parts went to scrap. Boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone because size and setting change the work. Call 833-658-4847 if you need boat removal in Mobile County.
In our experience, leaving a vessel in high heat and humidity turns static rain into mold fast. Heavy summer storms fill open cockpits, putting thousands of extra pounds on structural supports. Before recycling, our crew drains all fuel and oil and pulls the battery to keep hazardous materials out of ground soil. We take the title when there is one, or sign a release of liability so the vessel is off your name.

Questions owners ask about a job like this
What if my boat is on a trailer?
We haul the boat and the trailer together. If the tires are flat or the frame is rusted, our crew uses winches and flatbeds to tow or load the entire setup safely from your yard or drive.
What if my boat engine is inoperable?
An engine that does not run will not delay the salvage process. We use heavy winches to pull dead boats onto our trucks, so the motor does not need to start or turn over for us to haul it away.
Boat disposal across Mobile County
Crews cover Mobile County: Mobile, Saraland, Citronelle and Prichard. Coastal salt air speeds up metal rust on yard storage units in June. Property owners usually call us this time of year when sun exposure chalks the gelcoat and standing water turns forgotten hulls into breeding grounds for insects.
