This Ski Nautique 196 measured twenty feet with a burgundy hull and a white deck. The boat sat behind a duplex in Upper Dublin, PA, after an insurance company wrote it off. The owner called our crew because he needed the fiberglass hull off his property before his landlord filed a fine.
The hull sat on a concrete pad with a steep driveway running down to a narrow street. Our truck could not back all the way up without scraping the rear bumper on the concrete slope. We unhooked our winch cable, ran it through a heavy snatch block anchored at the top, and winched the boat and trailer down the incline step by step until the wheels reached flat ground.
We hauled the ski boat to a facility where our crew stripped the inboard engine and hardware for parts, then cut the hull for recycling. Boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone, because size and setting change the work. Call 833-658-4847 for boat removal in Montgomery County.
In our experience, water trapped inside a hull during winter freezes and splits the gelcoat, which eventually rots the core. We drain all fuel and oil into approved containers and pull the battery before sending any fiberglass to recycling. We take the title when there is one, and when there is not we sign a release of liability so the boat is off your name.

What Upper Dublin boat owners ask us
How much does it cost to junk a fiberglass boat?
We charge based on the length of the vessel, the location on your property, and how easily our truck can reach it. Trailer condition also changes the work. Call us with your boat details, and we will give you a clear price before we head out.
How to get rid of a bad boat?
Call our crew to haul the boat away. We pull the vessel off your yard or driveway, take care of proper disposal, and handle hazardous materials like fuel and oil. We sign a release of liability so you are no longer responsible for the hull.
Boat disposal across Montgomery County
Crews cover Montgomery County: Pottstown, Norristown, Lansdale and Trappe. Early summer brings many calls from boat owners who unveiled their vessels for the season only to find winter ice damage or rotted floors. Heavy spring rains also fill forgotten hulls, making them too heavy to tow safely without helper pumps.
