Storage yards in Frisco get full, and some vessels just disappear onto private land. A farmer down in Collin County called us this March after clearing a fence line behind his barn and finding a 1990 wakeboard boat lying upside down in the high grass. It was 21 feet long, missing its registration, and sitting right in the dirt without a frame under it. The guy who owned the dirt wanted the derelict vessel off his property before spring planting. Before our truck rolled out, the property owner signed the release of liability so everyone was clear on who authorized the work.
Getting to it meant driving a muddy farm track with a low creek crossing. Once our crew reached the field, we checked for hazardous fluids in the bilge, drained some old fuel that smelled like varnish, and pulled a cracked battery that was leaking acid. You never drag a hull until those are out. To move a non-running hull with no wheels under it, we winched the vessel onto rollers, flipped it right side up, and blocked the bottom. I checked the lifting points to make sure the fiberglass hull would hold its weight. We backed our trailer right to the keel, hooked our straps, and pulled it up smooth.
We took the junk boat in for proper disposal, where workers salvage what is usable, including stainless hardware, before the rest goes to an approved facility. The farmer kept his signed paperwork and had a clear field again. For fast boat removal process anywhere in Frisco, call 866-994-1769.
What I check first on every boat
Usually, we see that boats sitting through the cooler stretch look dry on top, but a summer of rain has already soaked the foam inside the hull, doubling its weight. That makes loading trickier. To give an accurate estimate first, we ask for clear photos showing the hull, the trailer tires, and the path out to the road.
