Hauling a bowrider out of a Rapid City pickup

A 19 ft Stingray 195 bowrider was sitting in a driveway in Pennington County with a delaminated swim platform and no clear next move. The owner had bought it years ago, used it a handful of times, then parked it. Trailers collect flat spots. Fiberglass collects damage. By the time we got the call, the boat had been there long enough that the owner just wanted it gone. The trailer was in decent shape, which helped, but the driveway was narrow and the boat was angled toward a fence line. We couldn't back a flatbed straight in. Instead, we brought a rotator and positioned it from the street, then used a boom to lift the stern over the fence and rotate the whole rig out to the road. The swim platform damage meant we had to secure the hull carefully to avoid flexing it during the haul. Under an hour, start to finish. We got the Stingray onto the trailer, confirmed the title paperwork, and routed the hull to the recycler in South Dakota where the fiberglass gets processed and the materials get sorted. We cover all of Pennington County: Rapid Valley, Colonial Pine Hills, Ashland Heights, Hill City, Johnson Siding, New Underwood. Most calls come in when someone's pulling a boat out of storage for spring or realizing they're not going to use it before winter. We schedule pickups same week, and we know the roads around Rapid City well enough to get a 19-footer like yours out without tearing up the driveway or blocking the neighbors for hours.
