25 ft O'Day Removal in Delano, CA

A 25 ft O'Day 25 sat on wooden stands in a Delano yard for three years. The keel bolts had wept rust down the hull in long orange streaks, and the fiberglass was starting to check from sun and neglect. The owner had bought it thinking he'd sail it out of state, but life shifted, and the boat stayed put. By the time he called us, it was taking up half the driveway and the neighbors had stopped pretending it wasn't there. The trailer was long gone, so we had to bring a heavy-duty flatbed and a crane. The stands had settled unevenly into the soil, and the starboard side had dropped lower than the port. Getting the slings under without cracking the hull meant careful rigging and a slow lift. We worked under an hour, but the real job started at our yard. The mast came down first, then we pulled the keel. Once both were out, the fiberglass hull went to the recycler in Bakersfield where it gets processed for material recovery. Clean job, no mess left behind. Crews cover all of Kern County: Bakersfield, Oildale, East Niles, Ridgecrest, Wasco, Rosamond. We pick up the same week you call in most cases. A lot of boat owners in Delano move their rigs in and out of storage facilities along the valley, and we handle those routes regularly. Whether your O'Day is sitting at a property or staged for transport, we come get it.
