Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

You might think it's easy, but removing a boat in Burnt Prairie Blair can be tricky. Limited disposal sites are always a problem. Our crew dismantles the mast, removes all equipment and electronics from the vessel, and, if necessary, detaches the fly bridge. Because landfills don’t accept most large vessels in one piece, some prep work is required. We manage the entire process for you, so your boat is ready for disposal without any hassle. Boat removal made simple.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal around Blair often starts along the Little Wabash River, where aging aluminum fishing boats and flat bottomed jon boats are left stranded after seasonal flooding or engine failure. Owners who kept vessels near the Clay County Fairgrounds area or in rural lots off Route 50 frequently call us when titles lapse and storage fees pile up, leaving them with no practical way to move the hull on their own.

Many calls come from property owners near Sailor Springs whose ponds and low lying fields collect old pontoons and bass boats that have not run in years. Others involve sunken or half submerged hulls pulled from sloughs feeding the Little Wabash, where waterlogged fiberglass makes standard trailer removal impossible. In those cases our crew uses specialized lift equipment and coordinates with Clay County road crews to haul even the heaviest wrecks safely off the property.

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).
