Look at an old trailer first and you usually know how the whole story ends. The single-axle rig sitting at the end of a long dirt driveway in Hemet had dry-rotted tires sunk three inches into the dust, faded paint, and a rusted winch that had not turned since the mid-nineties. Sitting on top was an eleven-foot 1984 jet ski with a cracked hull and a seized pump. A couple called us because they were downsizing to a condo where trailer parking was out of the question.
The vessel had been sitting back there for years. Before we pulled anything, the owner signed the release of liability. We always make sure the paperwork is clear before our crew touches a winch. The narrow side yard and a locked gate gave us about two inches of clearance on each side. We checked for hazardous fluids and made sure the engine compartment had no remaining oil or fuel leaks before moving it. We then backed our trailer down the dirt path, winched the jet ski across, and secured it for travel.
That non-running junk boat left the property for good. Back at our yard, any metal and usable parts were saved for recycling, while the useless fiberglass hull went to an approved disposal facility. The owners kept their receipt and held onto a clean driveway. If you have an unwanted vessel sitting on your lot in Hemet or Riverside County, give us a call at 951-458-6098.
How the boat removal process works on our jobs
Typically, we see trailer tires turn to stone after sitting out under the dry California heat. The sun bakes the gelcoat, turns seats into dust, and makes old rubber snap the moment it hits the highway. That is why our crew uses our own trailer for transport instead of towing an old rig. Getting the liability release signed first keeps property owners completely protected from any future haulage issues.
