Des Plaines, IL: 17 ft Tracker Pro Gone in One Morning

A 17 ft Tracker Pro 170 bass boat had been sitting in a driveway in Des Plaines for three years. The carpet had peeled up from the hull, the livewell lid was gone, and both trailer tires were flat. Nobody had a title for it, and nobody wanted to keep looking at it anymore. The boat was heavier than it looked, and the trailer wheels wouldn't roll. We brought a deck winch and pulled it straight onto the bed, flat tires and all. The whole job took under an hour. Once we had it loaded and secured, we handled the no-title paperwork according to Illinois rules and drove it out to the metal recycler in Cook County, where the aluminum hull got broken down and sent back into the supply chain. Crews cover all of Cook County: Chicago, Proviso, Maine, Elgin, Hanover, Orland. Des Plaines sits right in the middle of our territory, so same-week pickups are the norm here. We handle a lot of boats coming out of storage facilities along the Des Plaines River corridor in the fall and spring when owners decide to move them or let them go. One call gets the Tracker loaded and on its way out.
