Boat Removal in Shellman Bluff, GA

Shellman Bluff isn’t one spot on a map. It’s little roads, landings, fish camps and neighborhoods strung out through the marsh, and boats come with the territory. One that quits running gets pulled up beside the house, behind the shed or back under the trees, and life goes on around it until somebody decides it’s time.

If you’re over toward Julienton, the boat may be only part of what you want gone. Back there the little roads run toward the water and the sheds fill up with fishing gear, so tell us about the motor, the trailer and the gear while you’re at it, because we look at boat, motor and trailer as one complete job.

Down at the old Bluff a boat may be tucked in close to an old cottage under the live oaks. Low limbs, a tight gap between buildings or soft ground by the water decide how it comes out: whole on our equipment, or broken down right there and carried out in pieces.

Coming down River Road from Brunswick is a real drive, and it’s built into the price we quote you up front, never tacked on later. A boat takes more planning than a couch call, so we would rather have a few days than none to look over your photos first.

We work out the access from your photos: where the boat sits, what’s between it and the road, whether the trailer will still roll. That tells us whether it leaves in one piece or several before the truck ever heads down.

If it has to be cut down where it sits, the fiberglass, wood and hardware our own cutting makes ride out with the boat. The goal is that the spot looks like a boat was removed, not like a boat was demolished there.

Send us a few photos and tell us what you need removed. We’ll take it from there.

Everything leaves on our truck, and we figure out where each piece should go by what it is and the shape it’s in.

The hull is the part that takes thought. Fiberglass boat disposal is far more complex than landfilling a hull, and we’ve developed legitimate downstream processes for dismantled fiberglass.

An aluminum hull, the trailer frame and other metal that can realistically be separated usually goes to scrap recycling, most often at SA Recycling in Brunswick.

Waterlogged wood, rotten decking and ruined cushions go to disposal.

A dead depth finder or radio from the console doesn’t go in with the rest, since the McIntosh County landfill can’t take electronics; electronics from McIntosh jobs go to a channel such as Broadhurst, which takes certain broken electronics.
