The moment that rusted single axle finally turned, you could hear the relief from the back porch. A couple in San Angelo called us while packing up their home for a condo downtown. Sitting at the end of a long dirt driveway was an 11-foot 1970 jet ski they bought years ago and never fixed. It had a cracked fiberglass hull, a seized pump, and two dry-rotted tires that dropped right to the rim when we hooked up.
Old trailer bearings love to lock solid after sitting in West Texas dirt. I checked the wheel hubs first, knowing a dragged tire will tear up a driveway fast. Before pulling anything onto the road, our crew checked for remaining fuel or oil in the tank. The owners located the original registration in an old shoebox in their garage, and the release of liability was signed with the deposit before we moved the vessel. We winched the jet ski and its frame right onto our trailer and strapped everything down tightly for the trip.
We hauled the vessel off the property so they could hand the keys to the buyer without an abandoned craft in the yard. Reusable metal and hardware went to local recycling, while the rest was handled at a facility set up for fiberglass hull disposal. If you have unwanted vessels sitting on your dirt path, call 325-312-5148.
How our boat removal process really starts
Typically, we find that a vessel left on soil absorbs moisture long before winter arrives. Even in the cooler stretch when the ground firms up, rain from months back stays trapped inside the hull foam, adding double the original weight. When asking for a free estimate, clear photos help us get the pricing right. Send pictures showing the whole hull, the axle state, and the path leading out to the main road.

Boat removal and disposal near San Angelo
We pick up boats across Tom Green County, in Grape Creek. January weather brings cold winds that dry out rubber tires and crack old winch straps. When a boat sits outside through seasonal shifts, rainwater gets into the subfloor and freezes, making the structural fiberglass brittle and prone to snapping right at the support bunks during a pull.
