Yonkers, NY: 18 ft Checkmate Predictor Gone in One Morning

An 18 ft Checkmate Predictor ski boat had been sitting in a Yonkers driveway for seven years. The outboard was seized solid, the go-fast paint had faded to a dull chalky white, and the single-axle trailer underneath had rusted through in spots. The owner had moved to Mount Vernon, couldn't sell it, and the boat had become part of the landscape he no longer wanted to see. The real problem wasn't the boat itself. It was the trailer. The wheels wouldn't turn, the frame had surface rust eating into the metal, and the whole rig was sitting on a driveway that sloped toward the street. We couldn't just tow it out. We brought in a hydraulic trailer lift, got the frame off the ground, and moved the boat using our own flatbed. Once we had it secure, the haul to the processor took under an hour. The fiberglass went to recycling, the trailer frame to scrap metal, and the seized engine to a core buyer who could pull what was salvageable inside. By early afternoon, the driveway was clean. The owner took a photo from the same spot he'd stood a hundred times before. This time there was nothing in it but pavement. Crews cover all of Westchester County: Greenburgh, New Rochelle, Mount Vernon, White Plains, Mount Pleasant, Cortlandt. We handle same-week pickups for boats sitting in yards, marinas, or storage lots across Yonkers. Winter months bring a lot of movement as boat owners pull vessels out of Westchester storage before spring, and that's when we're busiest. A call on Monday usually means we're loading by Friday.
