What information do I need to send to get a quote?

Send the service address, clear photos of the boat and the full access path, the boat type and approximate length, motor type if applicable, trailer status and condition, and any site rules or deadline. That information allows us to complete the job review and provide a scoped estimate. The more detail you include, the more accurate the initial quote.

Can you remove a non-running or heavily damaged junk boat?

Yes, damaged and non-running vessels are among the most common jobs we review. The condition affects the removal method and the estimate, but it does not disqualify a boat from service. A junk boat removal may involve dismantling the vessel on site rather than transporting it whole, depending on what the review determines.

Will I need to provide ownership or authorization documents?

It depends on the job. Ohio law treats a watercraft title as ownership evidence, and some removal situations — especially those involving estates, abandoned vessels, or marina authorization — may involve documentation requirements. Those requirements are identified during the job review and are not the same for every situation. If your circumstances are unclear, speak with an EZ Hauling representative before scheduling.

How long does scheduling take after I submit my request?

After you submit photos and details, we complete the job review and provide an estimate. Once you approve the scope and pay the booking deposit, we schedule the removal. Same-day or next-day service may be available when scheduling and job conditions allow, but we do not guarantee a specific timing window for every job.

Does the boat have to be transported whole, or can it be dismantled on site?

Either approach may be used depending on what the review determines. Some boats are towed or hauled whole; others are completely dismantled on site and the debris is hauled away afterward. The method is selected based on the boat's size, condition, access, and trailer status — not a universal procedure. Off-site recycling or salvage routing is used only when it is appropriate for that specific job.

What if the boat has a trailer with it?

Trailer condition is one of the factors that affects both the removal method and the estimate. A working trailer may allow for straightforward transport; a damaged or non-functional trailer adds complexity. Include photos of the trailer — and its hitch, wheels, and frame if possible — when you submit your removal request so the review can account for it accurately.

Boat Conditions and Types We Review for Removal

Our boat removal services include old, damaged, non-running, and restricted-access vessels across a wide range of types and conditions. If the boat is sitting on a driveway, in a backyard, on a storage lot, or at a dock area, it qualifies for a job review regardless of how long it has been sitting or how rough the condition looks.

Boat Types Accepted for Review

Motorboats of varying sizes
Sailboats and sailing dinghies
Pontoon boats
Fishing boats
Personal watercraft such as jet skis
Small watercraft including kayaks, canoes, rowboats, dinghies, and paddle boats
Yacht and catamaran removal inquiries (subject to additional review for size and access)
Boat trailers, with or without an attached vessel

Common Conditions We Encounter

Hull damage, rot, or structural deterioration
Non-running engines or completely stripped interiors
Fire or flood damage
Vessels that have been sitting unused for years
Boats with expired registration or unclear ownership history — these situations may require additional review and a conversation with an EZ Hauling representative before scheduling
Trailers with flat tires, seized wheels, or corroded frames

Submerged boats, houseboats, vessels over 40 feet, and boats with unsafe access all require additional review before we can confirm scheduling. Fuel, oil, batteries, and other materials that may be considered hazardous require a separate assessment during the estimate process; we do not offer unconditional handling of those materials.

The Photo-Based Estimate and Removal Planning Process

Every removal plan starts with a job review, not a one-size-fits-all quote. Here is the boat removal process from first contact through scheduled pickup.

Submit your details. Send the service address, photos of the boat and the full access path, the approximate length, vessel type, motor type if applicable, trailer condition, and any deadline or site rules. The more detail you provide up front, the faster the review can move.
Job review. An EZ Hauling representative evaluates the photos and details to determine whether the job can be quoted remotely or whether an on-site assessment is needed first. Access constraints, trailer condition, boat size, and removal setting all factor into the review.
Estimate and scope. Once the review is complete, we provide a written scope covering the selected removal method, access plan, and pricing. Any documentation or authorization needs specific to your job are identified at this stage — requirements vary by job and may require a direct conversation with an EZ Hauling representative.
Schedule the removal. After you approve the estimate and pay the booking deposit, we schedule the crew. Same-day or next-day service may be available when scheduling and job conditions allow; it is not guaranteed for every job.
Removal and cleanup. The crew arrives and executes the approved plan. The remaining balance is collected only after the job is complete.

Transparent Pricing and Deposit Terms

Pricing depends on the specific job. The factors that affect a final quote include boat length, motor type, trailer condition, access difficulty, whether dismantling is required, transport distance, and applicable disposal requirements. Below are the confirmed starting prices from which estimates are built.

Small non-powered watercraft (kayaks, canoes, rowboats, dinghies, paddle boats, paddleboards): Starting at $850 flat

Powered personal watercraft and sailing dinghies: Starting at $1,200 flat

Motorboats and sailboats: $1,000 minimum; the final estimate depends on length, motor type, access, trailer condition, any dismantling required, transport, and disposal requirements

These are published starting prices. They are not universal quotes. A junk boat with difficult access, a seized trailer, or complex dismantling needs will carry a different cost than a clean removal from an open driveway. Submit your photos and details for a job-specific number.

Deposit and Payment Structure

Motorboats and small watercraft: 25% booking deposit; the balance is due after the job is complete
Sailboats: 35% booking deposit; the balance is due after the job is complete

You will not be billed the full amount until the work is finished. That structure keeps the incentive on our side to complete the job correctly.

Access, Trailer Condition, and Ownership Review

Two things slow down or complicate a boat removal more than anything else: access and documentation. We review both during the estimate so there are no surprises on removal day.

Access Considerations

The access path to the vessel directly shapes the removal method and the cost. A boat parked in an open driveway with clear overhead clearance is a different job from one tucked behind a fence in a narrow backyard or sitting at a marina slip. When you send photos, include the full path from the street or entrance to the boat, not just the boat itself. If access is gated or requires site coordination, note that in your submission.

Trailer Condition

A functional trailer can simplify transport. A trailer with flat tires, a seized hitch, or a corroded frame may add time and affect the removal method selected. Include photos of the trailer — or confirm that no trailer is present — when you submit your request.

Ownership and Authorization Review

Ohio law treats a watercraft title as ownership evidence and sets transfer requirements; current records should be confirmed through the appropriate state or county office. Whether any documentation is needed for your specific job depends on the circumstances, and those requirements are determined during the job review. If your situation involves an estate, an abandoned vessel, a marina authorization, or any unclear ownership history, speak directly with an EZ Hauling representative before assuming what documentation will be required. We do not publish a universal document checklist because the applicable requirements vary by job.

Job-Specific Removal Methods

There is no single mandatory removal workflow. The method we use depends on what the job review reveals about the boat's size, condition, location, access, and trailer status. A junk boat removal that works smoothly for one vessel may be completely impractical for another.

Whole-Boat Hauling or Towing

When the vessel is intact, the trailer is functional or transport can be arranged, and access allows it, we may tow or transport the boat whole. This approach is straightforward for smaller craft in accessible locations.

On-Site Dismantling

When the boat cannot be moved in one piece — because of size, structural condition, access limitations, or the absence of a working trailer — the approved method may involve complete on-site dismantling. After the vessel is broken down, the resulting ordinary debris is hauled away. This is not a lesser option; for many jobs it is simply the right approach.

Off-Site Routing

When appropriate for a specific job, materials may be routed off site for recycling, salvage consideration, or disposal at an accepted facility. That routing is determined after the job review — it is never assumed or promised in advance. Facility acceptance and applicable requirements must be confirmed during the estimate process. No specific local facility acceptance has been verified for Wood County as part of this service.

If you are unsure which method applies to your vessel, submit your photos and let the review determine it. That is what the review is for.
