March brought a sharp freeze to New Brunswick, and inside an open storage space, ice had split the plastic deck fittings on an eighteen foot bass boat. The renter stopped paying rent months back. The storage facility owner finally called us because he needed that spot cleared for a paying customer, but the air around the vessel smelled like old varnish from ruined gas sitting in the bilge.
The hull sat on flat tires, and an old battery was leaking acid near the stern. Before any work started, our crew signed off on the paperwork with the property owner. Since the title was missing, we helped him sort out the registration record and a bill of sale, while the owner signed the release of liability when he booked the job. The real headache was the aisle out front. It barely gave us two inches of clearance on each side of our trailer. I checked the wheel hubs, pumped air into the tires, and had our people ease the rig back slowly. We checked for fuel and oil leaks first before winching the boat up, then strapped the whole thing down.
We hauled the junk boat away to salvage the metal trolling motor and aluminum trim for recycling, while the fiberglass hull went to an approved disposal facility. The property owner got his clean storage space back without any mess left on the concrete floor. If you have non-running vessels sitting in New Brunswick or Middlesex County, call us at 866-994-1769.
When we take a boat apart and when we don’t
Typically, we see locked wheel bearings and frozen leaf springs whenever a boat trailer sits out in a northern winter. Deep cold turns damp rust into a solid weld, making the boat removal process tough if you do not know how to handle seized axles. When you send us photos for a free estimate up front, show us the sides of the hull, the trailer tongue, and the driveway path. Clear pictures of the path out keep our boat removal pricing accurate.

Boat removal in New Brunswick: questions and answers
Can you get a boat out of my backyard?
Yes, our crew handles backyard boat removal jobs regularly. We pull unwanted vessels down side yards, off blocks, or out from behind garages using our own trailer and winches. As long as we have a path wide enough for the boat, we can get it out of your yard.
Are your haulers in New Brunswick licensed and insured?
Yes, our crew is fully licensed and insured for every boat removal and disposal job we take. We bring our own trucks and safety gear to handle the loading, road transport, and responsible disposal, so property owners are not left taking on any risks when clearing out a derelict boat.
Boat removal in Middlesex County and nearby towns
We pick up boats across Middlesex County, in Sayreville, South Plainfield, Perth Amboy and Carteret. Early spring thaws send dirty water straight into exposed bilges, where it freezes overnight and cracks old fiberglass hulls. That extra ice adds weight and makes prompt vessel disposal a priority before the frame warps or sinks into soft mud.
