16 ft Smoker Craft Removal in Arlington Heights, IL

A 16 ft Smoker Craft 16 had been parked in a driveway in Arlington Heights for so long that pine needles and green stain had basically fused to the aluminum hull. The trailer tongue jack was bent, the tires flat, and the whole rig was wedged between a fence and a neighbor's property line. Nobody was using it. Nobody was fixing it. It was just taking up space and collecting years of neglect. The real problem wasn't the boat itself,it was access. We couldn't back a standard trailer down that driveway without clipping the fence or the neighbor's garage, so we brought a smaller recovery rig and a portable winch. We disconnected the bent jack, winched the boat off the trailer right there on the concrete, and loaded it sideways onto our flatbed. The whole operation took us under two hours. No title in the drawer, handled per Cook County protocol for abandoned vessels. Once we had it secured, we hauled the hull to the metal recycler outside Proviso. The aluminum got sorted, the rest went to scrap. The driveway was clean. The fence was fine. The neighbors could stop staring at it. We cover all of Cook County: Chicago, Proviso, Maine, Elgin, Hanover, Orland. Most pickups happen within the same week you call. A lot of folks in Arlington Heights pull boats out of winter storage in spring or move them back in fall, and we handle those seasonal swaps regularly. You tell us the address and what you've got, we quote you flat, and we show up when we say we will.
