The couple who rang us from Allen were packing up for a condo and wanted their side yard back for a small patio set. Sitting right in the way was a nineteen-foot open-bow runabout on a rusted dual-axle trailer, untouched for years. The gelcoat had turned white as chalk, the vinyl seats were split down to the yellow foam from the Texas heat, and the windshield was cracked straight across.
Getting this vessel out meant navigating a narrow gate and a low overhead power line across the driveway. Before our truck moved an inch, we had the property owners sign the release of liability. Our crew checked the engine block and tank for oil or fuel leaks first, then hooked up our own trailer winch to pull the boat clear. Old trailer tires like to lock up after three years in the dirt, but we brought the rig out without brushing the house or snagging the wire.
We brought the boat in for dismantling. Usable metal fittings and the prop went to salvage, and the rest went to an approved local disposal facility. I told the owners to hold onto their bill of sale alongside the canceled registration. If you have a junk boat taking up room in Allen or around Collin County, give us a call at 866-994-1769.
When we take a boat apart and when we don’t
Typically, we see hulls that weighed fifteen hundred pounds on paper turn into two thousand pounds of soggy fiberglass because winter rain soaked into the floor foam. Before our crew comes out for a boat removal, clear out any personal gear left in the bow lockers and unlock any perimeter gates along the driveway. That saves our crew twenty minutes on arrival and keeps the boat removal process moving without delays.

Boat owners in Allen, TX often ask
Can I get rid of a boat without title?
Yes, we can handle the boat removal process without a physical title. We assist with the bill of sale and local registration paperwork to ensure proper disposal. Send us photos of the vessel and trailer first, and we will send an upfront estimate for the job.
Can you take a boat to a junkyard or salvage yard?
Yes, we haul unwanted vessels directly to specialized facilities equipped for proper boat disposal and recycling. Before transport, our crew drains any remaining hazardous fluids. The total pricing depends on the size of the hull, its condition, and whether our crew has to cut the hull into pieces for transit.
Boats we pick up across Collin County, TX
We pick up boats across Collin County, in McKinney, Anna, Lucas and Princeton. March brings cooler weather that keeps the lawn firm under our tires, but months of standing water inside an open deck will have added hundreds of pounds to the hull. That extra weight makes a proper winch and heavy trailer necessary for safe boat removal services along a soft yard edge.
