A homeowner in Wentzville put his house on the market and needed his old ski boat gone from a fenced self-storage lot. He had left the white and teal 1993 MasterCraft ProStar 190 sitting on its trailer for six years. The house sale meant he had to clear out his rented space before closing day.
Our crew arrived with a heavy truck and a winch. The trailer frame had rusted straight through at the tongue, so we could not hook it up and tow it away down the road. We jacked up the front of the trailer, slipped a steel sled under the broken steel, and winched the whole rig onto our flatbed trailer. Heavy ratchet straps kept the boat secure for the haul across St. Charles County.
We brought the boat back to our yard, stripped the hardware, and cut the 20 ft fiberglass hull into manageable pieces. The fiberglass went to a landfill that takes it, and we hauled the engine block and brass fittings to a scrap yard for recycling. Boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone, because size and setting change the work. If you need boat removal in Wentzville, call 833-658-4847.
In our experience, humid Missouri springs rust out box-tube trailer steel from the inside long before the fiberglass hull fails. Moisture sits inside the frame rails and eats the metal while the boat sits parked. We always pull the battery and drain the fuel tank, engine oil, and gear oil before cutting a hull for proper disposal. We take the title when you have one, or we sign a release of liability so the boat is off your name.

Two questions we hear on jobs like this
What if my boat engine is inoperable?
A dead or seized motor is no problem for boat removal. We bring our own winches, ramps, and cut saws to load non-running boats right where they sit. Our crew handles the heavy lifting whether the motor turns over or not.
What is the procedure for boat disposal?
We haul the vessel to our shop, drain all hazardous materials, and remove recyclable metals. We then cut the fiberglass hull into small sections and transport them to a landfill for bulk waste. You receive paperwork showing the boat was properly scrapped.
Junk boat removal across St. Charles County
Crews cover St. Charles County: O’Fallon, West Alton, St. Charles and St. Peters. Early summer house sales bring many boat removal calls in this area. Owners cleaning out backyards and storage units want old runabouts cleared off their property before closing.
