The roll-up door at the Green Bay storage lot was up, but the aisle outside it gave us six inches of clearance on either side of our trailer. A commercial property owner called us after months of chasing a tenant who walked away from a twenty-foot wakeboard boat. It had sat in that dark bay until the rent bill outgrew the value of the hull, and he needed the floor back for a paying customer.
The engine was non-running, the fuel line was cracked clear through, and the title was long gone. We sorted out the registration paperwork and a bill of sale with the lot owner, who signed the release of liability when he booked the job. Before we pulled the vessel out into the March air, our crew checked for hazardous fluids to make sure no old gas or oil leaked onto the concrete floor. The trailer tires were soft, but the wheel bearings had not frozen solid, so we winched the hull onto our trailer, strapped it down, and squeezed back down the narrow alley.
Salvaged parts and usable hardware were stripped for recycling, and the rest went to a facility equipped for proper boat disposal. The storage bay was swept clean before we left. If you have derelict or unwanted vessels taking up space on your property in Green Bay, call 920-605-9385.
How our boat removal process really starts
Typically, we see trailer tires go flat and wheel hubs seize when a boat sits through a Green Bay winter. A quick junk removal job turns slow if the tires will not roll. When you ask for a free estimate, photos help us plan the gear we bring. Sending clear shots of the fiberglass hull, the trailer tongue, and the path out to the street lets us give you accurate pricing upfront.

Boat removal in Green Bay: questions and answers
Do you handle hurricane-damaged boats?
Yes, we haul away storm-damaged and sunken vessels from docks, yards, and waterfront sites. Whether the fiberglass is cracked or the hull is full of water, our crew brings the right trailer to dismantle and haul the scrap safely.
Do you take the trailer too?
Yes, we take boat trailers whenever property owners want them gone. If the frame is rusted or the axle is broken, we haul the boat and trailer together so your yard or dock is completely clear.
Boat pickup around Brown County
We pick up boats across Brown County, in Suamico, Hobart, Bellevue and Ashwaubenon. March weather in Wisconsin brings deep cold that freezes standing rain inside a fiberglass hull and locks up wheel bearings in the snow. That extra weight and frozen gear change how our boat removal process works, which is why we check the site before we pull a junk boat out.
