Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal
You might think it’s easy, but removing a boat in Downey can be tricky. Limited disposal sites, including access through Coralville Marina, 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
Boats left too long at Lake Macbride or launched at the Lake Macbride State Park Boat Ramp and never retrieved are among the most common removal calls in this area. Waterlogged hulls and abandoned pontoons pulled from the Coralville Reservoir account for a steady share of work, especially after stormy seasons leave vessels stranded and unfit to return to the water.
Owners docking at Coralville Marina often call when aging boats become too costly to repair and need full removal from their slip. Hauls under the Mehaffey Bridge corridor and recoveries from the Iowa River bottom round out the typical workload, covering everything from derelict fishing boats to sunken fiberglass hulls that require careful dismantling before transport.
