Oak Lawn, IL: 18 ft Starcraft Holiday Gone in One Morning

The 18 ft Starcraft Holiday 18 had been parked in a driveway in Oak Lawn for three years. Aluminum hull, riveted construction, and a slow leak history that had kept the owner from even thinking about launching it. The single axle trailer underneath it had rusted solid, tires flat and rims sitting on the concrete. We pulled in on a Tuesday morning. The tight driveway meant we couldn't back the flatbed straight in, so we set up a come-along and hand-winched the whole rig forward to the street in stages. Once we had clearance, the aluminum hull came up clean onto the deck. Under an hour total. No title in the drawer, which we handled per Illinois documentation rules. The hull went to the metal recycler in Cook County, and the trailer frame followed. Crews cover all of Cook County: Chicago, Proviso, Maine, Elgin, Hanover, Orland. Most pickups happen within the same week. Oak Lawn sits right in the middle of our regular rotation, and we see a lot of boat movement in spring when people haul rigs out of storage and again in fall when they're putting them away for winter. Call with your address and the size of the boat, and we'll tell you the exact day.
