I've pulled plenty of old boats out of Cape Girardeau backyards. One was a 22-foot cabin cruiser someone inherited with the house, sat there eight years, hull starting to soft in spots. Another was a 19-foot bowrider the owner listed for a season with no bites, storage fees piling up faster than the asking price dropped. Both situations end the same way. The boat doesn't move, the owner gets tired of looking at it, and we get the call.
Here's what we do. We show up, load the junk boat onto our trailer, and haul it out start to finish. Jobs in Scott City often stack with a Cape Girardeau call, so we can pick up a vessel one afternoon and handle the estate cleanout the next morning. Missing paperwork doesn't stop the job, details on the Missouri page.
