25 ft O'Day Removal in Ames, IA

A 25 ft O'Day 25 was sitting on cinder-block stands in a driveway near Nevada, keel bolts weeping rust streaks down the fiberglass. The boat had been there long enough that the owner's plan to restore it had quietly turned into a plan to forget about it. We got the call on a Tuesday. The trailer was rotted through, so moving the hull meant we couldn't use it. We brought a hydraulic lift and a flatbed, set up under the keel, and raised the boat off the stands. Most of a morning to get it secured and level. The mast was already down and lashed to the cabin, so we didn't have to deal with that on-site. Once the hull was on the truck, we routed it to our yard in Story County, where we pulled the keel and cut the fiberglass down for processing. We cover all of Story County: Nevada, Huxley, Story City, Roland, Gilbert, Maxwell. Most pickups happen within the same week you call. A lot of boat owners around Ames pull their rigs out of storage in spring or tuck them away come fall, and that's when we see the most movement. We handle the haul from your driveway or storage lot, load it on the truck, and get it to the recycler or auction house depending on what it's worth.
