The photos sent over to us showed a yellowed fiberglass hull sitting low in the water at a community dock, but they missed the dark green waterline line painted inside the cabin. A man in Conroe bought the 28-foot express cruiser fifteen years ago, expecting to work on the twin engines. He never got to them, and after a wet winter, the transom was pulling straight off the stringers while soft spots spread across the floor.
Because the title was still sitting under another name, we helped track down the legal owner to sign the release of liability before our crew touched a line. The waterfront dock was missing half its deck boards, so standing two men on it to pull lines was out. We brought in trash pumps on our rig, cleared hundreds of gallons of lake water out of the bilge, and floated the derelict vessel down to the nearest ramp.
We checked for hazardous fluids first before hauling the vessel onto our trailer. Anything that had salvage value came off back at the yard, and the rest went straight to a facility built to process and dispose of heavy fiberglass hulls. We swept the launch ramp clean of loose debris. If you have non-running or unwanted vessels in Conroe or Montgomery County, call 936-243-3510.
What I check first on every boat
Typically, we find that boats left on docks through a Texas spring hold hundreds of pounds of water trapped inside the floor foam, long after the bilge looks dry. That extra weight changes how the hull rests on a frame. When we inspect an old unit, our crew looks at the sidewall cracks on the trailer tires and rust weeping from the wheel bearings. That tells us if the axle can roll a mile or if we need our own transport gear for the boat removal.

Boat removal pricing questions in Conroe
How much does boat removal cost in Conroe?
Our boat removal pricing starts at a $400 minimum service charge. Final pricing depends on the size of the boat, where it sits, its structural condition, and whether we have to dismantle or cut up the hull. We offer a free estimate, and sending clear photos helps us give you an accurate quote.
How do I get rid of my boat?
To start the boat removal process, send us photos of the vessel, its trailer, and the path out. Our crew handles the loading and haul away with our own equipment. We salvage what is usable for recycling and take the remaining junk boat materials to an approved disposal facility.
Boat pickup around Montgomery County
We pick up boats across Montgomery County, in Montgomery, Magnolia, Willis and Splendora. Spring rain down here fills open hulls fast, causing soft wood to rot and setting heavy engines deep into mud or lake beds. That extra weight turns a standard pull into a winch job, making early removal much easier on your property.
