Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removals in Bristol most often begin along the Elkhart River corridor, where anglers and recreational boaters pull watercraft after a season on the water. Many owners store boats at home on the east side of town near County Road 4, relying on a trailer and tow vehicle for extraction from private lifts, shallow banks, or gravel driveways that front the river without a formal ramp.

A second common scenario involves boats kept near the St. Joseph River, which local boaters reach for broader cruising. Seasonal owners in the Elkhart County area also use the public access off US 20 to retrieve vessels after fall layup. Whether a craft is stranded on a trailer, sunk at a bank, or abandoned after a failed sale, our crew coordinates safe removal regardless of condition.

Prompt, came out same day within a few hours of calling them. They were very careful while moving the junk. Friendly. Takes all forms of payment. I plan on calling them again. Mark and Christina came the next trip to remove more junk. They were very professional, quick, worked hard, and even swept the mess left from the junk on the garage floor.

This company is excellent! Removing this old 18 ft motor home was not an easy task. It had been sitting in the same spot for 26 years so needless to say it was literally falling apart and imbedded in the ground. The 2 men who removed it were so patient and professional taking care not to tear up the yard while doing so, not to mention it was one of our hottest days. They deserve 10 stars or more in my book!

The team did a wonderful job clearing out 2 of our office suites. Both suites contained about 40+ cubicles, 11 executives offices, at 3 conference rooms. It took about a week to get everything out of there but they were fair and always updated me throughout the day. They also sent pictures to make sure I knew they were filling the trailer up (they charge by the load).
