Whether the vessel is sitting in a driveway, a backyard, at a dock, or in a storage lot, we review the job details and build a removal plan that fits your specific situation.

Boat Conditions and Types We Review for Removal
Our boat removal services include a wide range of vessel types and conditions. If you are not sure whether your situation qualifies, submit photos and details and we will confirm during review.
Vessel Types Accepted for Review

Certain situations—including submerged boats, houseboats, vessels over 40 feet, boats without clear ownership documentation, or sites with unsafe or restricted access—require additional review before we can confirm scheduling. If your situation is complex, contact us so we can assess it directly.

- Rotting fiberglass, wood, or aluminum hulls
- Boats sitting on a trailer that may no longer move
- Vessels stored in a yard or storage facility for years without use
- Junk boats abandoned on private property
The Photo-Based Estimate and Removal-Planning Process
Every removal starts with a job review, not a phone guess. Here is how the boat removal process works from first contact through completion.
- Submit your details. Provide 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 property or marina rules that apply at the site.
- We review and follow up. Our team examines the photos and details to determine whether the job can be scoped remotely or whether an on-site assessment is needed. If anything is unclear—including whether documentation or authorization review is required—we will contact you before moving forward.
- You receive a scope and quote. Once the review is complete, we provide a transparent estimate that reflects the actual access, boat condition, trailer situation, chosen removal method, and any applicable disposal requirements for that specific job.
- We schedule and execute. After you approve the estimate and submit the booking deposit, we coordinate access and schedule the crew. Same-day or next-day service may be available when scheduling and job conditions allow, though it is not guaranteed.
- The job is completed and balance collected. The remaining balance is collected only after the work is done.
Transparent Pricing and Deposit Information
Pricing depends on the specific job—boat type, length, motor type, access conditions, trailer condition, whether dismantling is needed, transport distance, and applicable disposal requirements all affect the final cost. The figures below are confirmed starting points, not flat quotes for every 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; the final estimate reflects length, motor type, access, trailer condition, any dismantling required, transport, and disposal factors
Deposit and Balance Terms
- Motorboats and small watercraft: 25% booking deposit
- Sailboats: 35% booking deposit
- The remaining balance is not collected until the job is complete
Do not treat these starting prices as your quote. Send your photos and details so we can give you a rate that reflects your actual job. An affordable, job-accurate estimate is far more useful than a generic number built from assumptions.
Access, Trailer Condition, and Ownership or Authorization Review
Before a removal can be scheduled, the crew needs a clear picture of site access and any authorization requirements specific to your situation. These factors directly affect how we plan the job and, in some cases, whether it can proceed at all.
Access Considerations
Tight driveways, low-clearance entries, soft ground, locked gates, or commercial property rules at a storage facility or marina can all affect the removal method and the equipment required. Include access photos and any site-specific rules in your initial submission so the review is accurate.
Trailer Condition
A trailer that is roadworthy changes the scope significantly compared to one that is rusted, flat, or structurally compromised. Note the trailer's condition in your submission—it is one of the key factors that shapes the estimate and the selected removal approach.
Ownership and Authorization
Ohio law treats a watercraft title as ownership evidence and sets transfer requirements; current requirements should be confirmed through the appropriate state or county office. What documentation you may need for your specific removal depends on the job, the property type, and the circumstances. We do not publish a universal checklist because requirements vary. If ownership records, estate authorization, marina authorization, or another type of documentation may be relevant to your situation, discuss it with an EZ Hauling representative during the review process. Customers in Congress and across Morrow County are welcome to call (888) 401-7041 with questions before submitting.
Job-Specific Removal Methods: Hauling, Towing, or On-Site Dismantling
No single removal procedure applies to every boat or every site. The method is selected only after we have reviewed the photos, boat dimensions, access conditions, trailer status, and the removal setting. Here is what may be involved depending on the job.
Whole-Boat Hauling or Towing
When a boat is structurally sound enough to transport in one piece and site access allows it, the vessel may be loaded and hauled away intact, or towed from the site directly. This is one option—not the default for every job.
Complete On-Site Dismantling
Some boats are too deteriorated, too large for the available access, or positioned in a way that makes whole-boat transport impractical. In those cases, the crew may dismantle the vessel completely on site. The remaining ordinary debris is then hauled away. This is a fully legitimate removal outcome—it does not require a specialized facility for every material category.
Off-Site Routing When Appropriate
Depending on the materials involved and what makes sense for that job, off-site salvage, recycling, or proper disposal routing may be part of the plan. Fuel, oil, batteries, and other hazardous materials require separate assessment and coordination; responsible disposal or handling of those materials is addressed during the job review, not assumed upfront. We do not promise specific environmental outcomes, zero-landfill results, or recycling rates—what we do is handle each job's materials in a manner appropriate to that job after the review determines what is needed.
If you are trying to remove a junk boat and are unsure what the removal will involve, that is exactly the kind of situation the estimate process is designed for. Haul method, dismantle scope, and any off-site routing are all determined job by job.
Serving Congress and All of Morrow County, OH
EZ Hauling Services is available for boat removal and junk removal throughout Congress and all of Morrow County, OH. Congress is a small community in a county where boats, trailers, and personal watercraft commonly end up sitting on residential properties or in storage lots long after they stop being used.

Morrow County property owners and managers dealing with an unwanted or non-running boat should keep in mind that facility acceptance, applicable county procedures, and any situation-specific requirements need to be confirmed during the estimate rather than assumed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do I need to submit to get a boat removal quote?
Start with the service address, clear photos of the boat and the access path, the boat type and approximate length, condition notes, trailer status (if applicable), and any site rules or deadlines. The more complete your submission, the more accurate the estimate. If an on-site assessment is needed after the initial review, we will tell you before proceeding.
Can you remove a boat that does not run or is heavily damaged?
Yes. Non-running and heavily damaged boats are among the most common jobs we review. The condition of the vessel affects which removal method is selected—a boat that cannot be towed may need to be dismantled on site—but damage alone does not disqualify a boat from removal. Send photos so we can assess the actual situation.
Do I need ownership documents before you can remove the boat?
Documentation needs depend on the specific job and cannot be generalized. Ohio law establishes title as ownership evidence and sets transfer requirements, but what that means for your removal depends on circumstances such as property type, vessel status, and who is requesting the removal. If you are unsure whether documentation review applies to your situation, speak with an EZ Hauling representative during the estimate process rather than assuming nothing is needed.
What happens to the trailer attached to the boat?
Trailers are reviewed as part of the job. A roadworthy trailer may be handled differently than one that is rusted out or structurally failed. Note the trailer's condition when you submit photos, and the estimate will account for it. Trailer removal and boat removal are scoped together when both are on site.
How quickly can the removal be scheduled?
Same-day or next-day service may be available when scheduling and job conditions allow. Timing depends on schedule availability, job complexity, and whether additional review or documentation is required before work can begin. We do not promise a universal response time, but we do move efficiently once a job is reviewed and approved.
Will the boat definitely be hauled away whole, or could it be dismantled on site?
The removal method is chosen after reviewing photos, access, boat dimensions, condition, and trailer status—not before. A boat may be hauled intact, towed away, or completely dismantled on site with the debris hauled as ordinary material. Off-site salvage, recycling, or disposal routing is used when it is appropriate for that specific job. No single procedure is mandatory for every vessel.
