Photograph the full setup
Include the hull, trailer, tires, hitch, identification areas, and street access.
Make a plan for the boat that is no longer going anywhere.
Old boats bring more variables than ordinary junk: trailer condition, tires, access, weight, fuel, fluids, and registration status all matter before pickup.
Condition reviewed first
Trailer and access details
Small watercraft inquiries
Photos save a lot of guessing.
Send clear views of the boat, trailer, hitch, tires, hull, registration markings, and the route to the street. Tell us whether the boat rolls, steers, and sits on a roadworthy trailer.
Remove personal property and disclose fuel, batteries, oil, standing water, or other fluids. Pickup options depend on size, condition, access, and the receiving route available for the vessel.

Prepare the pickup in three moves.
A little context before arrival helps the crew understand the route, equipment, and decisions involved.
Remove loose contents
Take out personal items, gear, paperwork, and anything you plan to keep.
Disclose fluids and damage
Tell us about fuel, oil, batteries, standing water, broken tires, or structural damage.
Pickup depends on the whole setup
A boat on a sound trailer is different from a hull resting on blocks or soil. We review the condition and access before confirming the job.
