27 ft Ericson Removal in Virginia Beach, VA

This 27 ft Ericson 27 had been sitting up on stands in a Virginia Beach driveway long enough that the portlights had crazed to a milky haze, and whoever owned it before had already stripped the interior down to bare fiberglass. Nobody was finishing that project. It just sat there taking up the yard until the current owner decided it needed to go. The mast was already down and lashed alongside the hull, which helped, but the boat on stands instead of a trailer meant we had to rig it for a controlled lift rather than just hooking a strap to a hitch. That's the one obstacle that slows a job like this down. My crew worked it out over most of a morning, cribbing the hull steady before it came off the stands and onto the truck. No title in the drawer on this one, handled per the Virginia page rules, so that didn't hold anything up either. Once it reached our yard, we pulled the keel off separately since that much lead isn't going anywhere near the same disposal stream as the fiberglass. The hull got cut down for scrap right after. Nothing about this one was complicated, just a boat that had outlived its last two owners' patience. Crews cover all of Virginia Beach city: Virginia Beach and the surrounding neighborhoods clear out to Virginia Beach line. Most calls get a same-week pickup once we've got the address and boat details. A lot of our Virginia Beach runs are seasonal, hauling an old Ericson out of a backyard or storage lot before someone pays another year on space they don't need. We work around that timing.
