Pontoon Boat Removal in Shellman Bluff, GA

Shellman Bluff was never one spot on the map. It’s landings, fish camps, little roads and neighborhoods strung out through the marsh, and boats and docks are as much a part of it as the houses. So the pontoon that hasn’t moved in years might be parked under the trees behind a cottage, or on its trailer beside a house out at Pine Harbor, where boats, docks and tidal water come with the place.

Tell us where it sits the way you’d tell a neighbor, “down past the landing, behind the shed,” and add a few pictures. The length of the boat matters less than the trip from the boat to the road: soft ground, a narrow gate or low limbs decide the plan.

Boats take more planning than a couch call, so on a pontoon we’d rather have a few days than none. Call or text for the next available opening. Those days let us study the photos and settle whether it leaves whole or in pieces before anybody makes the drive down.

When the tubes and frame are sound and we can get the equipment to it, the boat goes up in one piece. When the deck has gone to mush or the way out is tight, the fence, seats and decking come off right there and the tubes and frame follow as their own load. Either way, the spot should look like a boat was removed, not like one was taken apart there.

No trailer, or one that hasn’t rolled in years, is fine. A lot of pontoons can be lifted and loaded without one.

Old gas in the tank, a battery, a question about the paperwork: mention it with the photos and we’ll sort it out with you when we quote.

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

Every piece leaves on our truck, and we work out where each part should go by what it’s made of and the shape it’s in.

Aluminum tubes and frames that separate cleanly usually go to scrap recycling, usually at SA Recycling in Brunswick.

Waterlogged plywood, split vinyl and old carpet go to disposal.

A depth finder or a stereo pulled off the console usually goes to Broadhurst, which takes certain broken electronics, since the McIntosh County landfill doesn’t accept electronics.
