Methuen Town, MA: 16 ft Smoker Craft Gone in One Morning

A 16 ft Smoker Craft 16 had been parked in a Methuen Town driveway for years, hull covered in green stain from pine needles and neglect. The aluminum fishing boat sat on a trailer with a bent tongue jack that wouldn't budge, and the owner had no title in the drawer. We got the call on a Tuesday and rolled out the following Thursday with a winch rig and a flatbed that could handle the weight without putting stress on that compromised frame. The real problem wasn't the boat itself. It was the trailer. We had to disconnect the jack, reset the frame geometry enough to get it level, then use a come-along to ease the whole rig onto the flatbed. The crew worked around the driveway's tight angle toward the street, making sure we didn't clip the neighbor's fence on the way out. Under an hour, start to finish. No title meant we followed the Massachusetts rules for titled and untitled vessels, and the paperwork cleared in a phone call with the state. Once the Smoker Craft was at the yard, we broke down the aluminum hull and sent it to the metal recycler. The trailer went to salvage. Driveway was clear, and the owner didn't have to think about it anymore. Crews cover all of Essex County: Lynn, Lawrence, Haverhill, Peabody, Salem, Beverly. We move fast in Methuen, usually scheduling pickups the same week you call. Whether it's a smoker sitting in storage through the off-season or a boat that needs to come out before winter, we handle the route and haul it out on our timeline, not months from now.
