“Can you haul this junk boat away if I do not have the title anymore?” That was the first thing a homeowner asked when he called us from Piscataway, NJ. He had bought a 17 foot bass boat cheap fifteen years ago, parked it along the side of his house behind a locked gate, and never got it running. The engine had not turned over in years, the fuel line was cracked clear through, and water sat in the hull.
He booked the job, signed the release of liability, and we helped him sort out the registration and a bill of sale to keep everything clean. When our crew arrived in April with our trailer, we noticed a low power line hanging right over the narrow driveway. I have backed enough rigs under live wires to know you do not rush it. We checked for hazardous fluids and leaks first, opened the gate, and rolled the vessel out by hand. The trailer tires held just enough air to turn, though the wheel bearings growled the whole way to the street. We pulled it onto our trailer and strapped it down tight.
The steel engine block and trolling motor were saved so a yard could recycle the metal, and the unusable fiberglass hull went to an approved disposal facility. We swept the gravel side yard clean and handed the owner his signed receipt. If you have non-running unwanted vessels sitting on your property in Piscataway or Middlesex County, call 866-994-1769 for your boat removal.
What I check first on every boat
Typically, we see spring rains fill every hidden pocket of an open fiberglass hull that sat out all winter. That extra water weight can easily double what a vessel weighs when you try to lift it. Before our crew moves anything off your property, the property owners sign a release of liability. This paperwork protects you completely from any damage or issues once the boat removal process starts and our trailer leaves your driveway.

Two questions from Piscataway boat owners
Can you remove a boat that is in the water?
Yes, we handle boat removal for floating, sunken, or partially submerged craft at a dock, marina, or waterfront location. Our crew pulls the boat from the water, handles the removal and disposal, and hauls it away on our trailer.
How do I get rid of my boat?
Call us for a free estimate based on photos of your boat. Our pricing starts at a $400 minimum service charge and varies by size, location, and condition. We check for hazardous fluids, dismantle the vessel if needed, salvage usable parts, and haul the rest away.
Where we remove boats near Piscataway, NJ
We pick up boats across Middlesex County, in Sayreville, South Plainfield, New Brunswick and Perth Amboy. Spring thaws in New Jersey fill cold winter cracks with heavy water, turning a forgotten yard boat into a soggy mess. That standing water makes the vessel much heavier and harder to maneuver around tight house corners before the ground dries out.
