This service is available to boat owners, property managers, marina and storage-facility managers, estate representatives, and businesses.

Boat Conditions and Types We Review for Removal
EZ Hauling accepts boats in a wide range of conditions. A vessel does not need to be running, road-ready, or structurally intact for us to evaluate it. Common situations that lead owners and property managers throughout Centerville to reach out include:
- Boats that have sat in a backyard, driveway, or storage lot for years and are no longer wanted
- Watercraft with significant hull damage, rot, or fire and flood damage
- Non-running motorboats or outboard-powered fishing boats with mechanical failures
- Sailboats and sailing dinghies that are no longer seaworthy
- Pontoon boats that have deteriorated beyond practical repair
- Personal watercraft such as jet skis that are non-functional or restricted from a storage site
- Small non-powered watercraft including kayaks, canoes, rowboats, dinghies, and paddle boats
- Catamarans and other multi-hull vessels requiring a closer look before scheduling
- Boats on trailers where the trailer itself adds complexity to the removal
- Vessels stored at commercial properties, marina slips, or dock areas where access coordination is needed
Submerged boats, houseboats, yachts over 40 feet, abandoned vessels without clear ownership, and boats in locations with unsafe or restricted access require additional review before we can schedule the job. If your situation falls into one of those categories, provide as much detail as possible when you request your estimate so we can determine whether and how we can assist.
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 how the process works:
- Submit your information. Send the service address, clear photos of the boat from multiple angles, photos of the access path, the boat type and approximate length, condition notes, trailer status, and any site-specific rules or deadlines. Customers in Centerville and anyone serving Centerville properties can submit everything through the online quote form or by calling (888) 401-7041.
- Job review. EZ Hauling evaluates the photos and details to understand access constraints, the removal method that makes sense, any documentation or authorization questions, and whether an on-site assessment is needed before scheduling.
- Scope and estimate. Once the review is complete, you receive a written scope and estimate before any work begins. Pricing depends on the factors outlined in the section below.
- Schedule the removal. After you approve the estimate, the job is scheduled. Same-day or next-day service may be available when the schedule and job conditions allow, though neither is guaranteed.
- Removal and wrap-up. The crew arrives, executes the approved removal method, and clears the site. The remaining balance is collected only after the job is complete.
EZ Hauling Services is fully licensed and insured. When a job is handled by a partner crew, that crew is also verified as licensed and insured before being assigned to the work.
Pricing, Starting Rates, and Deposit Terms
Boat removal and disposal pricing is job-specific. The factors that influence the final estimate include boat length, motor type, trailer condition, site access, the removal method selected, any dismantling required, and transport and disposal requirements. The starting prices below reflect the minimum for each category; the actual quote may be higher depending on your specific situation.
- 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; final estimate depends on length, motor type, access, trailer condition, dismantling scope, transport, and disposal requirements
Deposit and Payment Terms
A booking deposit of 25% is required for motorboats and small watercraft. For sailboats, the deposit is 35%. The remaining balance is not collected until the job is complete. Do not treat the starting prices above as a universal quote — send your photos and details so we can give you an accurate, job-specific number.
For a firm rate on your specific boat and situation, submit your quote request or call (888) 401-7041.
Access, Trailer Condition, and Authorization Review
Getting a boat off a property is rarely just about the boat itself. Before the crew can be scheduled, EZ Hauling needs to understand a few situation-specific factors.
Site Access
Narrow gates, low-clearance overhangs, soft ground, tight dock areas, and multi-story storage facilities all affect how a removal can be executed. When you submit photos, include clear shots of the path from the boat to the street or nearest accessible point. If there are overhead obstructions, locked entry points, or property rules that restrict heavy lifting or equipment, note those in your request. Access constraints may affect the removal method and the cost.
Trailer Condition
If a trailer is involved, its condition matters. A trailer that is road-worthy and properly registered is handled differently from one that is deteriorated, flat-tired, or structurally compromised. Include photos of the trailer and describe its current condition when you submit your information.
Ownership and Authorization
Documentation needs depend on the individual job. Ohio law addresses watercraft title as evidence of ownership and sets transfer requirements; current records should be confirmed through the appropriate state or county office. Whether any specific ownership or authorization paperwork is needed for your removal — and what form it must take — is determined during the job review. If your situation involves an estate, a commercial property, a marina slip, or an abandoned vessel, the applicable requirements may not be straightforward. When the requirements are unclear, speak with an EZ Hauling representative before assuming what you will or will not need.
How the Removal Method Is Selected
There is no single boat removal process that applies to every job. The method is chosen after reviewing photos, dimensions, motor type, structural condition, trailer status, and the removal setting. The approved approach for any given job may involve one of several possibilities:
- Whole-boat hauling or towing — When the boat and trailer are in sufficient condition and the access path supports it, we may transport the vessel intact to an appropriate facility.
- Complete on-site dismantling — When the boat cannot be moved whole due to size, structural condition, or access limitations, the vessel may be fully dismantled on site. The remaining ordinary debris is then hauled away. This is a legitimate and common outcome for deteriorated boats; it does not require transport to a specialized facility.
- Off-site salvage, recycling, or responsible disposal routing — When materials or components have salvage or recycling value, or when proper disposal requires routing to a specific facility, that routing is arranged as appropriate for the job. Facility acceptance must be confirmed during the estimate process; EZ Hauling does not guarantee recycling, salvage outcomes, or eco-friendly disposal results for every removal.
Fuel, oil, batteries, and other hazardous materials require separate assessment and coordination. Do not assume that unconditional hazardous-material handling is included in every removal. This is addressed during the job review.
The crew assigned to your job — whether an EZ Hauling team or a verified licensed and insured partner — will execute the method approved in your estimate. No method is selected or promised before the review is complete.
Serving Centerville and All of Greene County, OH
EZ Hauling provides boat removal services in Centerville, OH, and extends those services across Greene County and the surrounding region. Whether the vessel is sitting in a backyard, parked on a driveway, occupying a storage space, or positioned at a dock area, we evaluate the job based on the actual site conditions rather than a generic service description.
Greene County properties range from residential lots with tight side-yard access to commercial storage facilities with their own internal rules. A marina or boatyard manager coordinating slip recovery, a homeowner dealing with a junk boat that has sat through multiple Ohio winters, a business clearing a storage lot, or an estate representative working against a property-sale deadline — all are situations we review and quote individually.
Because no county-specific disposal facility acceptance, local permit requirement, or marina policy was verified for this page, those details are confirmed during the estimate rather than assumed in advance. If the applicable requirements for your removal are unclear, contact an EZ Hauling representative directly so nothing is overlooked before work begins.
EZ Hauling is a reliable, affordable option for boat removal and disposal throughout Centerville and the broader community. Our crew handles the heavy lifting; you handle getting us the information we need to plan the job properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do I need to submit to get a quote?
Send the service address, clear photos of the boat and the full access path, the boat type and approximate length, its current condition, trailer status if one is present, and any site rules or deadlines. The more detail you provide, the more accurate the estimate. Submit everything through the quote request form or call (888) 401-7041.
Can you remove a boat that does not run and has significant damage?
Yes. Non-running, deteriorated, and structurally compromised vessels are reviewed regularly. The condition affects the removal method and may affect the cost, but a non-running or heavily damaged boat does not automatically disqualify it from removal. Describe the damage in your submission and include photos so the review team can assess what is involved.
Will documentation or authorization be required for my removal?
It depends on the job. Ohio treats a watercraft title as ownership evidence, and transfer requirements exist under state law. Whether specific ownership, authorization, or other paperwork is needed for your particular situation — and what form it must take — is determined during the job review. If the requirements are unclear, speak with an EZ Hauling representative before proceeding.
How is the removal method decided, and will you dismantle on site?
The removal method is selected after reviewing the boat's condition, dimensions, access path, trailer status, and the site setting. Some boats are transported whole or towed; others are completely dismantled on site and the debris is hauled away. Off-site salvage, recycling, or disposal routing is used when it is appropriate for that specific job. No single procedure applies to every vessel.
What about a boat on a trailer — is the trailer included?
Trailer removal can be included in the scope, but the trailer's condition affects the plan and the estimate. A road-worthy trailer is handled differently from one that is deteriorated or flat-tired. Include trailer photos and a condition description in your quote request so that detail is factored in from the start.
How quickly can the job be scheduled?
Same-day or next-day service may be available when the schedule and job conditions allow. Timing is confirmed during the booking process, not in advance of the review. Submit your information as early as possible if you have a deadline, and note the deadline in your request.
