EZ Hauling Services removes old, damaged, non-running, and unwanted boats for property owners, marina and storage managers, estate representatives, and businesses throughout Ashley, OH and the surrounding Delaware County area.

Boat Conditions and Types We Review for Removal
EZ Hauling handles a wide range of situations. Whether a vessel has been sitting in a backyard for years, is occupying a driveway, is parked in a storage lot, or is taking up dock space at a marina, we can review the job and put together a practical removal plan. Boat removal services include the following categories and conditions:
- Motorboats in any condition, including non-running and flood-damaged hulls
- Sailboats, including those with standing rigging and keel complications
- Pontoon boats with rotted decking or corroded frames
- Fishing boats, jon boats, and aluminum skiffs
- Personal watercraft such as jet skis and wave runners
- Small watercraft including kayaks, canoes, rowboats, dinghies, and paddle boats
- Boat trailers, whether attached to a vessel or standing alone
- Catamarans and sailing dinghies requiring specialized handling review
- Larger vessels such as a yacht that may require additional assessment before scheduling
Boats that are submerged, over 40 feet, or involve unsafe access require additional review before we can confirm scheduling. Fuel, oil, batteries, and other hazardous materials on board require a separate assessment during the estimate process. We do not skip that step.
The Photo-Based Estimate and Removal-Planning Process
Every job starts the same way: information in, estimate out. There is no guesswork and no obligation until you approve the scope and price. Here is the boat removal process from first contact through scheduled removal:
- Submit your job details. Send the property address, photos of the boat from multiple angles, photos of the access path, boat type and approximate length, condition notes, trailer status, and any deadline or site rules that apply.
- Job review. An EZ Hauling representative reviews your submission to determine the right removal method, whether an on-site assessment is needed, and whether any documentation or authorization review applies to your situation. If requirements are unclear, we will talk through them with you directly.
- Written estimate. Once the review is complete, we provide a scope and a written estimate. You will know the selected method, the access plan, timing options, and the total cost before we schedule anything.
- Schedule and execute. After estimate approval and deposit, we coordinate the removal. Same-day or next-day service may be available when scheduling and job conditions allow; it is not something we promise for every job.
If you manage a commercial property or storage facility, the job review will also address site rules and access coordination specific to your location. Our crew or a verified licensed and insured partner crew handles the work on site.
Transparent Pricing and Deposit Terms
Starting prices and deposit requirements are set by boat category. The final quote depends on boat length, access difficulty, trailer condition, whether dismantling is required, transport logistics, and any situation-specific disposal requirements confirmed during review. Below are the published starting points.
- Small non-powered watercraft (kayaks, canoes, rowboats, dinghies, paddle boats, paddleboards)
- Starting at $850 flat. Booking deposit: 25%.
- Powered personal watercraft and sailing dinghies
- Starting at $1,200 flat. Booking deposit: 25%.
- Motorboats and sailboats
- $1,000 minimum. Final pricing depends on length, motor type, access, trailer condition, dismantling, transport, and disposal requirements. Booking deposit: 25% for motorboats, 35% for sailboats.
The remaining balance is not collected until the job is complete. No single rate covers every situation, so do not use these figures as a final quote. Request an estimate with your photos and job details for an accurate cost figure.
Factors that commonly raise the estimate include difficult or restricted access, a trailer in poor condition requiring separate handling, large boat size, on-site dismantling scope, and any hazardous material coordination. A transparent line-item breakdown is part of every written estimate we issue.
Access, Trailer Status, and Ownership or Authorization Review
Before we schedule any removal in Ashley or across Delaware County, we need a clear picture of the access situation. A boat sitting in an open driveway requires a different plan than one stored behind a locked gate, inside a storage facility, or tied at a dock where a marina has its own entry procedures. Send photos of the full access path along with any restrictions, height clearances, or surface conditions that could affect the approach.
Trailer condition matters independently of the boat itself. A trailer that is structurally sound and road-legal is treated differently from one with flat tires, a rusted frame, or missing lights. Let us know the trailer situation upfront so the estimate reflects it accurately.
Ownership and authorization requirements depend on the individual job. Ohio law treats a watercraft title as ownership evidence and sets transfer requirements, but the specific documentation your job may require is determined during the review process, not before it. Estate jobs, marina-managed vessels, and properties with multiple stakeholders may each involve different steps. If you are unsure what applies to your situation, the right move is to speak directly with an EZ Hauling representative before assuming a particular document is or is not required.
Job-Specific Removal Methods: Hauling, Towing, or On-Site Dismantling
We do not apply one removal method to every boat. The approach is chosen after reviewing your photos, the boat's dimensions and condition, the access path, the trailer situation, and the removal setting. Here is how the decision is made:
Whole-Boat Hauling or Towing
When a boat is structurally intact, road-accessible, and the trailer or transport arrangement supports it, hauling the vessel whole or arranging a tow is often the most straightforward option. The boat leaves the property in one piece and is transported to an appropriate destination. Off-site salvage, recycling, or disposal routing is used when it fits the job—it is not a step we insert automatically.
Complete On-Site Dismantling
Some boats are too damaged, too awkwardly positioned, or too large to remove intact. In those cases, our crew may dismantle the vessel completely on site and haul away the resulting ordinary debris. This approach works well for a heavily deteriorated junk boat, a fiberglass hull that cannot be transported whole, or any situation where breaking the vessel down is the only practical path. The decision to dismantle is always job-specific.
Hazardous Material Coordination
Fuel, oil, batteries, and similar materials require separate assessment. We address this during the estimate review—not at the job site without a plan. Proper handling coordination is confirmed before the removal date is set.

Delaware County requirements for vessel ownership, transfer, and disposal are subject to change.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do I need to request an estimate?
Send the property address, photos of the boat from several angles, photos of the access path, the boat type and approximate length, current condition, trailer status, and any site rules or deadline constraints. The more detail you provide upfront, the faster we can return an accurate quote.
Can you remove a boat that does not run and has significant damage?
Yes. Non-running, flood-damaged, fire-damaged, and heavily deteriorated vessels are all reviewed for removal. The condition affects the choice of removal method and may affect the estimate, but it does not automatically disqualify a job. Send photos and let the review determine the plan.
Do I need to provide title or ownership documents before scheduling?
Documentation needs depend on the individual job. Ohio treats a watercraft title as ownership evidence, but what your specific job requires is determined during the review, not in advance. If your situation involves an estate, a marina-managed vessel, or any ownership complexity, speak with an EZ Hauling representative before assuming what is or is not needed.
Will my boat be hauled away whole, or could it be dismantled on site?
The removal method is selected after reviewing your photos, the boat's condition and size, and the access situation. A boat may be transported whole, towed, or completely dismantled on site with the debris hauled away afterward. No single approach applies to every job. Off-site salvage or recycling routing is used only when it fits the specific situation.
How quickly can removal be scheduled?
Same-day or next-day service may be available when scheduling and job conditions allow. We do not promise a specific turnaround for every job. Once the estimate is approved and the deposit is received, we confirm the earliest available window that works for your site.
What if my boat is on a trailer that is in poor condition?
Trailer condition is part of the job review. A trailer with structural problems, flat tires, or missing components may require a different handling approach than a road-ready rig. Note the trailer condition in your estimate submission, and include photos if you can. The estimate will reflect any additional work involved.
