“Do I need to find the old registration before you can haul this thing away?” That was the first thing a Conway homeowner asked me when she called about an old 19-foot bass boat. She wanted her side yard back for a spring garden, but the vessel had been sitting there so long the grass was growing right up through the frame. The title was in her name, so once she signed the release of liability at booking, our crew was ready to head out.
The boat had a non-running engine that had not turned over in eight years, and the fuel line was cracked clear through. The trailer it sat on was buried in the mud at the end of a long dirt driveway, and the ground around it was soaked soft from lawn sprinklers. If you try to drag a flat, rusted trailer tire across soft soil like that, you will tear up the yard and bend the axle. Our crew jacked up the frame first, swapped in a usable tire from our truck, and pulled the vessel gently out to the street. Before we touched a strap, we checked the tank for fuel and oil leaks to keep hazardous fluids off the grass. Then we loaded the boat and its trailer onto our own rig and bound everything down tight.
We took the unit straight to the yard where metal parts were recycled and the unusable fiberglass hull went to a licensed disposal facility. The owner got her clean grass back in time for planting, along with her signed receipt. If you have abandoned unwanted vessels sitting on your property in Faulkner County, call 866-994-1769.
When we take a boat apart and when we don’t
Typically, we see hulls full of dirty rainwater after a storm season, which adds hundreds of pounds of weight and rusts out the leaf springs on an old trailer. That is why accurate pictures matter so much before our crew arrives. When you send over photos for an estimate, show us the sides of the hull, the rusted condition of the trailer tires, and the exact path out to the road.

How pricing works for boat removal in Conway
How much does boat removal cost in Conway?
Boat removal pricing starts at a $400 minimum service charge. The final cost depends on the size of the boat, where it sits on the property, its overall condition, and whether our crew has to dismantle the fiberglass to move it. Send us photos for a free estimate.
Can you remove a boat that is in the water?
Yes, we handle boat removal for sunken or derelict vessels tied to a dock, resting at a waterfront marina, or stuck along the shore. We check for leaks before moving the craft, pull it out of the water, and haul it away for proper disposal.
Boat pickup around Faulkner County
We pick up boats across Faulkner County, in Vilonia, Greenbrier, Guy and Holland. April rain softeners the ground around a boat left on a lawn, while intense summer heat bakes trapped humidity inside the fiberglass hull. That moisture rots floorboards and rusts iron frames quickly, making prompt boat removal and disposal the safest choice for local property owners.
