The homeowner in Yorba Linda wanted her side yard back for raised vegetable beds. A 1976 jet ski was sitting on a rusted single-axle trailer behind a locked wooden gate, right where she needed to lay down drip lines and soil. It had a cracked fiberglass hull and a seized pump from sitting out in the rain for years. She called our junk removal team to get the unwanted vessel off the property.
Before moving the rig, our crew checked for remaining hazardous fluids so nothing leaked on her concrete. The release of liability was signed by the property owner when we sorted the paperwork and booked the job. Getting the trailer through the narrow gate was the real work. Both tires were dry-rotted through, and the wheel bearings were completely seized from rust, which happens when trailers sit on dirt for a decade. We swapped the bad tires on the spot, greased the hubs so the wheels would turn, and rolled the craft out without tearing up her wooden fence. We secured it with our trailer straps and towed it away.
The metal frame and steel parts went to recycling, while the useless fiberglass hull went to proper disposal. The owner got her clean concrete back in time for spring planting. If you have non-running boats or trailers taking up room on your property in Yorba Linda or Orange County, call us at 866-994-1769.
What a trailer says about the boat on it
Typically, we check every axle before moving a rig that has been stationary for years. Orange County winter storms fill open hulls with water, putting extra weight on rotted tires and weak suspension parts. Having the owner sign the release of liability before our crew pulls the vessel ensures all legal ownership responsibilities are transferred before transport begins.

Before you book boat removal in Yorba Linda
How do I get rid of my boat?
You start by getting a free estimate up front from a licensed and insured boat removal company. Our crew inspects the vessel, handles the loading using our trailer equipment, checks for hazardous fluids, and hauls it away for proper disposal or scrap metal recycling.
Do you handle hurricane-damaged boats?
Yes, we haul storm-damaged, derelict, and sunken vessels from docks, marinas, and private yards. Whether a pontoon, sailboat, or powerboat is cracked or filled with water, our crew handles the full dismantling, boat removal process, and final disposal.
Our boat removal service areas in Orange County
We pick up boats across Orange County, in Irvine, Anaheim, Santa Ana and Huntington Beach. February storms in Yorba Linda bring rainwater that sits in open hulls, accelerating internal wood rot and rusting out trailer frames. That water weight makes a simple boat removal project much harder if the vessel sits ignored on a waterfront property or side lot.
