The neighbors thought the green boat behind the fence was part of the yard. It sat in the grass for twelve years until a home builder bought the property and needed it gone. The owner gave us a call to haul away the 22-foot sea-foam green Grady-White Seafarer walkaround before construction started.
The sun had washed out the gelcoat, but the main issue was under the steering wheel. Wasps built three large nests inside the console wiring. We sprayed the nests early in the morning while the air was cool and the insects were slow. After clearing the swarm, we unbolted a section of the privacy fence. Our crew backed our truck into the yard, winched the trailer onto the solid ground, and cleared the lot without hitting the house frame.
We pulled the motor off the transom for salvage and towed the remaining hull to a scrap yard that handles fiberglass recycling and disposal. Boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone, because size and setting change the work. If you need boat removal in New Square or anywhere in Rockland County, call 833-658-4847.
As a rule, we see heavy hull damage on craft left outdoors in New York. Winter water freezes in small cracks, expands, and splits the floor and the back of the hull. Before hauling any boat, our crew drains all fuel and oil and pulls the battery so hazardous materials stay out of the soil.

Questions owners ask about a job like this
How much does it cost to remove a boat?
We give you a price before we start the job. Small runabouts on rolling trailers cost less than large craft stuck in the mud or tucked behind structures. Every job gets a clear quote based on length, location, and the work needed to load the boat safely.
What is the procedure for boat disposal?
We assess the site, clear any safety hazards, and tow the craft from your land. At our yard, we drain fluids, remove the battery, and take off usable metals. We take the title, or we sign a release of liability so the boat is completely off your name.
