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

Boat Conditions and Types Reviewed for Removal
EZ Hauling reviews a wide range of vessel conditions and categories. You do not need a seaworthy or operable boat to qualify—most requests involve boats that have stopped running, sustained structural damage, or sat unused long enough to become a storage problem.
Boat Types Covered
Boat removal services include motorboats, sailboats, pontoons, fishing boats, personal watercraft, small watercraft, kayaks, canoes, rowboats, dinghies, paddleboards, paddle boats, catamarans, and boat trailers. Larger or more complex vessels—such as a yacht or any boat over 40 feet—require additional review before scheduling can be confirmed.
Submerged boats, houseboats, and boats with unsafe or restricted access also require a more detailed review. If your situation involves any of these, describe it fully when you submit your request so the team can assess it properly.
Common Conditions
- Non-running or mechanically failed boats
- Boats with rot, hull damage, or fire damage
- Vessels stored for years on a trailer, driveway, or in a backyard
- Boats occupying a dock or slip at a marina without active use
- Estate boats requiring removal during a property turnover or sale
- Junk boat situations where the owner simply wants the space back
The Photo-Based Estimate and Removal-Planning Process
EZ Hauling does not apply a one-size-fits-all procedure. Every job starts with a review of the specific details you provide, and the removal plan is built around what those details actually show.
- Submit your information. Send the service address, photos of the boat from multiple angles, photos of the access path, boat type and approximate length, condition notes, trailer status, and any relevant site rules or deadline.
- Job review. The team reviews your photos and details to determine whether an on-site assessment is also needed, what the appropriate removal method is, and whether any documentation or authorization review applies to your situation.
- Estimate and scope. You receive a job-specific quote covering the selected method, access considerations, and any situation-specific requirements before anything is scheduled.
- Schedule removal. Once the estimate is accepted and the deposit is collected, a removal window is set. Same-day or next-day service may be available when the schedule and job conditions allow, though neither is guaranteed.
- Removal and completion. A licensed and insured crew—either EZ Hauling's own or a verified licensed and insured partner—carries out the approved removal plan. The remaining balance is collected only after the job is complete.
Fuel, oil, batteries, and other hazardous materials require separate assessment and coordination. Note this in your submission if any of these are present on the vessel.
Transparent Pricing and Deposit Terms
Pricing is job-specific. The factors that most affect your estimate include boat length, motor type, access difficulty, trailer condition, whether the boat must be dismantled on site, transport requirements, and any special disposal routing needed for that particular job. Below are the published starting prices.
- 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 quote depends on length, motor type, access, trailer condition, dismantling scope, transport, and disposal requirements
These are starting prices, not universal rates. Do not use them as a final quote for your specific situation.
Deposit Structure
- Motorboats and small watercraft: 25% deposit at booking
- Sailboats: 35% deposit at booking
- Remaining balance: collected after the job is complete, not before
An affordable starting point and a clear scope before any money changes hands is the goal. Submit your photos and details for an accurate, job-specific quote rather than relying on a general rate.
Access, Trailer Condition, and Authorization Review
Two practical factors shape almost every removal plan: how the crew can reach the boat and what condition the trailer is in. Both affect which method is appropriate and what the estimate will reflect.
Access
Whether the boat is in a backyard, on a driveway, at a dock, in a marina slip, or in a storage facility, access details matter. Tight turns, overhead clearances, soft ground, shared driveways, or facility check-in requirements can all influence how the job is approached. Describe and photograph the access path when you submit your request.
Trailer Condition
A trailer that is road-worthy affects what transport options are available. A trailer with flat tires, corroded frame, missing lights, or a seized coupler changes the picture. Include trailer photos and note any known issues so the estimate accounts for them.
Ownership and Authorization
Ohio law treats a watercraft title as evidence of ownership and sets transfer requirements; current records should be checked through the appropriate state or county office. The documentation or authorization that applies to your specific removal depends on your individual job review. EZ Hauling does not publish a universal document checklist because requirements vary. If your situation involves an estate, an abandoned vessel, a marina with its own removal authorization process, or any circumstance where the applicable requirements are unclear, speak with an EZ Hauling representative before scheduling.
Job-Specific Removal Methods
There is no single mandatory removal procedure. After reviewing your photos, boat details, access conditions, and trailer status, EZ Hauling selects the method that fits your specific job. Three broad approaches are used, and the right one depends entirely on what the review reveals.
Whole-Boat Hauling or Towing
When access allows and the boat can be moved intact, the crew may haul it whole or tow it from the site. This is typically straightforward for boats on functional trailers with clear access routes.
On-Site Dismantling
When the boat cannot be moved whole—due to size, access limitations, trailer condition, or structural damage—the crew may dismantle it completely on site. The resulting material is then treated as ordinary debris and hauled away. This is a practical option for boats in tight spaces or in advanced states of decay.
Off-Site Routing
Depending on the boat's materials and condition, off-site salvage, recycling, or proper disposal routing may be appropriate after removal. This is determined job by job. Responsible disposal of materials that can be processed appropriately is the goal, but no universal recycling or salvage outcome is promised, and facility acceptance must be confirmed during the estimate process.
Regardless of method, the removal is handled by a licensed and insured crew, and the heavy lifting, transport logistics, and post-removal cleanup are covered within the approved scope.

EZ Hauling Services handles boat removal and junk removal throughout Clinton and across Franklin County, OH. The service area covers residential properties, commercial sites, storage facilities, and marina and dock areas within the confirmed 25-state service region.
Franklin County is part of central Ohio, and customers in Clinton dealing with boats stored on residential land, commercial lots, or managed storage properties can submit a request through the standard estimate process. Because no specific county disposal facility acceptance, local fee schedule, or city-specific permit has been independently verified for this area, those details are confirmed during the job review rather than assumed in advance.

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 access path, the boat type and approximate length, a description of its condition, trailer status, and any site rules or deadline. The more complete your submission, the more accurate the initial estimate will be. The team will let you know if an on-site assessment is also needed before a final scope is confirmed.
How quickly can removal be scheduled?
Same-day service or next-day service may be available when the schedule and job conditions allow. Neither is guaranteed. Once the estimate is accepted, the team will confirm the earliest available window that works for the access requirements of your specific job.
Do I need ownership documents or special authorization before removal can happen?
Documentation needs depend on your individual job. Ohio law sets watercraft title and transfer requirements, but whether those or any other authorization steps apply to your situation is determined during the job review—not by a universal checklist. If your situation involves an estate, an abandoned vessel, a marina with its own policies, or any circumstance where the requirements are unclear, contact an EZ Hauling representative to work through it before scheduling.
Can you remove a boat that does not run or is severely damaged?
Yes. Non-running boats, structurally damaged vessels, and boats in poor condition are among the most common removal requests. The review process is designed to assess exactly these situations. Boats over 40 feet, submerged vessels, and houseboats require additional review, but damage or non-running condition alone does not disqualify a boat from service.
What happens to the boat trailer?
Trailer removal and disposal can be included in the scope. Include the trailer's condition—and photos of it—in your submission. A trailer with significant corrosion, flat tires, or a seized coupler may affect the removal method and the estimate. The team will address the trailer as part of the overall job review.
Will the boat be recycled, salvaged, or taken to a specific disposal facility?
Off-site salvage, recycling, or proper disposal routing is used when it is appropriate for that specific job, not as a universal procedure. The boat may also be completely dismantled on site with the resulting material hauled away as ordinary debris. No specific facility acceptance is guaranteed in advance, and eco-friendly routing options are confirmed during the estimate process rather than assumed. The goal is responsible disposal of materials based on the actual condition and composition of your boat.
