Berkeley, CA: 18 ft Starcraft Holiday Gone in One Morning

An 18 ft Starcraft Holiday 18 runabout had been sitting in a Berkeley driveway for three years. The aluminum hull had a slow leak history and the riveted seams were starting to show their age. The single axle trailer underneath it had rusted solid, and the whole rig was wedged tight against a fence line with maybe two feet of clearance on either side. The owner had tried selling it twice and given up. No title in the drawer, so we handled the paperwork per California rules. The real problem was access. We couldn't back a standard trailer rig into the space, so we brought in a rotator truck instead. The crew jacked the boat off its trailer in place, swung it over the fence line, and loaded it sideways onto the flatbed. The whole job ran under two hours, including the trailer pickup on a second pass. The Starcraft went to the metal recycler in Alameda County. The aluminum got sorted and processed. The trailer got the same treatment. By the end of the day, the driveway was clear and the fence line was visible again. We cover all of Alameda County: Oakland, Fremont, Hayward, San Leandro, Livermore, Pleasanton. Most pickups happen within the same week. A lot of boat owners in Berkeley move their rigs in and out of storage seasonally, and we handle those transitions on a regular schedule. You call with the address and the size, we tell you when we can get there, and we load it out.
