What information do I need to send to get an estimate?

Send the service address, clear photos of the boat from multiple angles and of the access path, the boat type and approximate length, its current condition, trailer status, and any site rules or deadlines. That information allows EZ Hauling to review the job and provide a realistic scope and quote before scheduling. The more detail you include up front, the faster the review can move.

My boat is not running and has significant damage. Can it still be removed?

Yes — non-running and damaged boats are common removal requests. Condition affects the removal method and the final estimate, but it does not automatically disqualify a vessel. Submit photos that clearly show the damage and the current location so we can assess what the job involves. Submerged or severely compromised vessels require additional review before we confirm scheduling.

Will I need to provide ownership documentation or other paperwork?

It depends on the job. Ohio treats a watercraft title as ownership evidence and sets transfer requirements, but whether any specific documentation is needed for your removal — and what form that takes — is determined during the job review. We do not publish a universal checklist because requirements vary by situation. If your ownership status is straightforward, the process is often simple. If it is unclear, plan to speak with an EZ Hauling representative as part of the estimate conversation.

What removal method will be used — hauling whole, towing, or dismantling?

That decision is made after reviewing your photos, the boat's condition, the access path, the trailer situation, and the removal setting. Whole-boat hauling, towing, and complete on-site dismantling followed by debris hauling are all possible approaches depending on the job. No single method is applied to every boat removal. Off-site salvage, recycling, or proper disposal routing is used when it is appropriate and when facility acceptance is confirmed.

Is same-day or next-day service available in Dublin?

It may be, depending on current schedule availability and the specifics of the job. Same-day or next-day service is not a guaranteed option for every request. If you have a firm deadline, include it when you submit your estimate request so we can assess whether your timeline is workable.

Does the estimate include the boat trailer?

If a trailer is part of the removal, include its condition and dimensions in your submission. Trailer condition — whether it is road-worthy, rusted, or structurally compromised — affects both the removal method and the final estimate. The scope will address the trailer once we have reviewed the details alongside the boat itself.

Boat Conditions and Types We Review for Removal

Our boat removal services include a wide range of watercraft and conditions. No vessel has to be running, registered, or in presentable shape to be considered. Below are the common categories and conditions we evaluate.

Boat Types

Motorboats — runabouts, bowriders, cabin cruisers, and similar powered craft
Sailboats — from small sailing dinghies to larger keeled vessels
Pontoon boats
Fishing boats
Personal watercraft — Jet Skis, WaveRunners, and similar powered PWC
Small non-powered watercraft — kayaks, canoes, rowboats, dinghies, paddle boats, and paddleboards
Boat trailers — included in the estimate when a trailer is part of the job
Catamarans and other multi-hull craft — reviewed individually based on size, condition, and access
Yacht-class vessels — subject to additional review; vessels over 40 feet require extra assessment before scheduling

Common Conditions

Old or end-of-life boats sitting in a driveway, backyard, or storage yard
Non-running or disabled vessels that cannot be towed under their own power
Storm-damaged, fire-damaged, or structurally compromised hulls
Abandoned watercraft left on private property or in a slip
Junk boat situations where the hull has deteriorated significantly
Boats with unknown or unclear ownership status — these require additional review and a conversation with an EZ Hauling representative before scheduling
Vessels with fuel, oil, or batteries still aboard — these require separate assessment and coordination before the removal plan is finalized

Submerged boats, houseboats, and oversized vessels are among the situations that require additional review before we can confirm scheduling. If your situation is unusual, describe it when you submit your photos and we will let you know what the next step is.

The Photo-Based Estimate and Removal-Planning Process

Every job starts with information, not a truck. Sending photos up front lets our team assess the boat, the access path, and any complicating factors before we commit to a plan. Here is how the boat removal process works from first contact to scheduled service.

Submit your details. Provide the service address, photos of the boat from multiple angles and of the access route, the boat type and approximate length, current condition, trailer status, and any deadline or site rules that apply. If you are a marina or storage-facility manager, include your site's access requirements and contact information.
Job review. EZ Hauling evaluates the information. If photos are unclear or additional detail is needed, we will follow up. For complex situations — difficult access, uncertain ownership status, large or damaged vessels — an on-site assessment may be necessary before we can finalize the scope.
Removal plan and estimate. Once the review is complete, we confirm the appropriate removal method, address any documentation or authorization questions, and provide a written estimate before scheduling begins. Nothing is scheduled until you have reviewed and agreed to the scope.
Schedule service. We coordinate a removal window that fits your timeline and the site's requirements. Same-day or next-day service may be available when scheduling and job conditions allow; it is not a guaranteed option for every job.
Removal and haul-away. The crew executes the approved plan. The method — whole-boat hauling, towing, or complete on-site dismantling followed by hauling the remaining ordinary debris — is the one confirmed during the review, not a default procedure applied to every job.

Transparent Pricing and Deposit Terms

EZ Hauling publishes starting prices so you know what range to expect before you send a single photo. Final pricing depends on the specifics of your job — there is no flat rate that fits every boat removal situation in Dublin or anywhere else.

Non-powered small 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: Minimum $1,000; the final quote depends on length, motor type, access conditions, trailer condition, whether dismantling is required, transport distance, and disposal requirements

Deposit Terms

Motorboats and small watercraft: 25% deposit to book; remaining balance collected after the job is complete
Sailboats: 35% deposit to book; remaining balance collected after the job is complete

Factors That Can Change Your Estimate

The starting prices above reflect the simplest version of each job type. The following factors commonly affect the final cost, which is why a photo-based review is the only reliable way to produce an accurate quote:

Boat length and overall size
Hull condition and structural integrity
Trailer condition — whether it is road-worthy, rusted, or missing components
Access constraints: narrow gates, soft ground, low clearance, docks, or a backyard with limited entry points
Whether whole-boat hauling, towing, or on-site dismantling is the right approach
Fuel, oil, battery, or other material aboard that requires separate handling
Site rules at a marina, storage facility, or commercial property
Scheduling complexity or specific deadline requirements

To get an accurate quote, submit your boat details and photos or call (888) 401-7041.

Access, Trailers, and Ownership Review

Access and authorization are two of the most practical things to think about before a removal crew arrives. Working through both during the estimate stage avoids delays on the day of service.

Site Access

Describe your access situation when you submit photos. A boat sitting on a trailer in a wide open driveway is straightforward; a boat wedged behind a fence, parked in a tight storage facility bay, or resting on a dock over water involves more planning. The removal method we select and the equipment the crew brings depend directly on what the access path allows. Include gate dimensions, surface type (concrete, gravel, grass, soft ground), overhead clearance, and any marina or storage-facility rules that restrict when or how a crew can operate on site.

Trailer Condition

If a trailer is part of the removal, tell us its condition. A road-worthy trailer with working lights and a hitch receiver creates different options than a rusted, flat-tired, or structurally compromised one. Trailer condition affects both the method we use and the overall cost of the job.

Ownership and Authorization

Ohio law addresses watercraft titles and transfer requirements. Whether your specific job involves any documentation review — ownership records, estate authorization, marina operator sign-off, or anything else — depends on the individual job and is determined during the review process. We do not publish a universal document checklist because requirements vary. If you are unsure what applies to your situation, speak with an EZ Hauling representative when you submit your request; that conversation is part of the estimate process.

Removal Methods: What Happens to Your Boat

There is no single procedure that applies to every boat removal. The method is chosen after photos, boat details, access conditions, and the results of the job review are all considered together. Here is what that can look like in practice.

Whole-Boat Hauling or Towing

When a boat is structurally sound and the access path can accommodate it, transporting the vessel whole — either by haul on a trailer or by tow — may be the most direct option. This is common for motorboats, smaller sailboats, pontoons, and personal watercraft where the trailer is functional or the boat can be loaded onto transport equipment.

On-Site Dismantling and Debris Hauling

For boats that cannot be moved whole — due to access constraints, severe structural damage, or size — complete on-site dismantling may be the right approach. In that case, the crew breaks the vessel down on location and hauls the resulting ordinary debris away. This is a practical solution for a junk boat that has deteriorated past the point where transport in one piece makes sense, or for a vessel trapped in a location where whole removal is not physically possible.

Off-Site Routing: Salvage, Recycling, or Disposal

When appropriate for the specific job, EZ Hauling routes material — or the whole vessel — to a salvage yard, recycling facility, or proper disposal site. This is a conditional option based on what the boat's condition, local facility acceptance, and applicable requirements actually allow. Responsible disposal and recycling are goals we work toward where the job supports it; they are not universal outcomes we can promise for every removal. Facility acceptance must be confirmed during the estimate process.

Our boat removal services include coordination across all of these methods. The crew that handles your job — whether EZ Hauling's own team or a verified licensed and insured partner — follows the plan confirmed during the review.

Serving Dublin and All of Delaware County, OH

EZ Hauling Services is serving Dublin, OH and the surrounding area as part of its confirmed Ohio service area. Dublin sits within Delaware County, and we handle removal requests throughout Dublin and across Delaware County for residential and commercial customers alike.

Customers in Dublin deal with the same removal logistics that come up throughout the state: boats stored in driveways or backyards for years, non-running vessels left behind after a property sale, marina or dock situations that require coordinated access, and estate cleanouts where a vessel is part of a larger property turnover. We approach each of these as a separate job that deserves its own review rather than a one-size answer.

EZ Hauling is fully licensed and insured. Partner crews used for covered jobs in the area are verified as licensed and insured as well. If you are a business, a marina or storage-facility manager, or an estate representative working on a deadline-driven project in the city or the broader county, describe your timeline and site constraints when you request the estimate. That information helps us scope the job accurately and coordinate a removal window that works.

For jobs in Delaware County where the applicable local requirements — facility acceptance, site-specific access rules, or authorization steps — are not yet clear, those details are confirmed during the estimate process. When requirements are unclear after the initial review, a conversation with an EZ Hauling representative is the right next step before scheduling.
