March weather in Volusia County brings cooler air, but months of hot rain had already soaked through the ply floor on this 19-foot pontoon boat. A couple off a long dirt driveway in Daytona Beach called our junk removal team because they were moving to a condo with no room for a rig.
The vessel sat on its own frame, but the boat trailer had rotten tires and rusted springs. Inside, a non-running battery was leaking acid, and old gas smelled like varnish. Before any dismantling, our crew cleared the hazardous fluids to keep the lawn clean. We laid down heavy boards over the soft grass so our truck would not sink, pulled the junk boat out to the street, and secured it onto our trailer using our own winch. The release of liability was signed by the property owners right at the start while we looked over the title papers.
We brought the vessel back to our yard. Salvaged metal and reusable parts were set aside for recycling, and the stripped fiberglass hull went to an approved facility for proper disposal. If you have an unwanted vessel sitting in Daytona Beach, call us at 866-994-1769.
When we take a boat apart and when we don’t
Typically, we check how heavy a pontoon floor has become after damp months, since wet foam adds hundreds of pounds to the vessel. Our crew inspects the winches, crossmembers, and axle condition before moving anything. Signing the release of liability beforehand gives property owners clear paperwork showing they no longer control or hold legal duty for the boat trailers or hulls once our truck leaves the driveway.

Daytona Beach owners ask about boat removal
Can you remove a boat that is in the water?
Yes. We pull boats from a dock, marina, or waterfront location across the county. Our crew inspects the vessel, secures lines, and uses heavy gear to load derelict or sunken boats onto our trailer safely.
Do you take the trailer too?
Yes, we haul boat trailers along with the boat when requested. If the old trailer is rotted or non-running, our boat removal process includes loading both onto our equipment for complete removal and disposal.
