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

Boat Types and Conditions We Review for Removal
EZ Hauling handles a wide range of vessels, and no single condition rules a boat out before the review. Our boat removal services include assessment of the following categories:
- Motorboats — inboard or outboard, running or non-running
- Sailboats — from small sailing dinghies to larger keeled vessels
- Pontoon boats — deck boats and pontoon platforms in any condition
- Fishing boats — aluminum, fiberglass, or wood hull
- Personal watercraft — Jet Ski–style craft, powered or not
- Small non-powered watercraft — kayaks, canoes, rowboats, dinghies, paddle boats, and paddleboards
- Boat trailers — with or without a vessel attached
- Catamaran and multi-hull vessels — reviewed individually based on size and access
- Yacht-class vessels — subject to additional review for size, access, and transport requirements
Common conditions that bring customers in Lee to us include hull damage, rot, fire damage, storm damage, seized engines, cracked decks, and boats that have simply sat unused for years. Boats in any of these states are accepted for review. Submerged boats, vessels over 40 feet, and situations involving unsafe access require additional assessment before we can confirm a schedule.
If you have a junk boat on a driveway, in a backyard, at a dock, or in a storage yard throughout Lee or the surrounding area, send us the details and we will tell you what the review process involves for your specific situation.
The Photo-Based Estimate and Removal-Planning Process
Every job starts with information, not assumptions. Here is how the boat removal process works from first contact through scheduling:
- Submit your details. Provide the service address, clear photos of the vessel and the full access path, the boat type and approximate length, hull material and motor type if known, trailer status, and any site rules or deadlines. More detail at this stage means a more accurate quote.
- We review and ask follow-up questions. Our team evaluates the photos, the vessel condition, the access route, and any situation-specific factors. If an on-site assessment is needed before we can commit to a scope, we will tell you.
- You receive a scoped estimate. The estimate will reflect the removal method, transport or disposal routing, and any access or authorization requirements identified during review. Pricing is job-specific, not based on a flat per-foot rate.
- We confirm the schedule. Once the estimate is accepted and the deposit collected, we schedule the removal. Same-day or next-day service may be available when scheduling and job conditions allow; it is not guaranteed.
- The crew completes the work. The selected method is carried out as scoped. The remaining balance is collected only after the job is complete.
Jobs may be completed by EZ Hauling crews or by verified, licensed, and insured partners. Either way, the crew assigned to your job is licensed and insured.
Transparent Pricing and Deposit Terms
Pricing for boat removal depends on the vessel type, approximate length, motor type, trailer condition, access difficulty, the removal method selected, and any transport or disposal requirements. Below are the confirmed 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; the final quote depends on length, motor type, access, trailer condition, dismantling requirements, transport, and disposal routing
Deposit terms: A 25% booking deposit applies to motorboats and small watercraft. A 35% deposit applies to sailboats. The remaining balance is not collected until the job is complete.
These are starting prices, not universal quotes. The estimate you receive will reflect the actual scope of your job. Factors that can change the cost include a difficult or restricted access path, a trailer in poor structural condition, the need for on-site dismantling, an unusually long vessel, hazardous materials requiring separate assessment, or authorization requirements specific to your situation. Send your photos and details to get a job-specific quote rather than relying on a general rate.
If you want to understand the cost before committing, the most direct step is to request a quote online or call (888) 401-7041.
Access, Trailer Condition, and Authorization Review
Access is one of the most important factors in planning a removal. A vessel parked on a wide, paved driveway with clear lane access is a very different job from a boat stored behind a fence, at the end of a narrow path, or near a dock with limited maneuvering room. When you submit your photos, include the full path a crew would travel from the street to the boat.
Trailer condition also matters. A structurally sound trailer that can be towed changes how the job is planned compared to a trailer with flat tires, a failed hitch, or significant corrosion. Note the trailer status in your submission so the estimate reflects the correct method.
For situations involving ownership questions — such as estate turnover, abandoned vessels, or boats being removed from a commercial facility — documentation or authorization review may be part of the job planning. Ohio law does address watercraft titles and transfer requirements, so ownership evidence is relevant in some situations. However, the specific documentation needed depends on the individual job, and EZ Hauling does not publish a universal checklist. If the requirements for your situation are unclear, a conversation with an EZ Hauling representative is the right next step. You can reach us at (888) 401-7041.
Marina and storage-facility managers: if your site has access restrictions, gate codes, weight limits, or requires coordination with facility staff, include that information when you contact us. The removal plan will account for your site rules.
Job-Specific Removal Methods: Hauling, Towing, or On-Site Dismantling
There is no single mandatory removal workflow. The method is selected after reviewing the photos, vessel details, access, condition, and trailer status — not before. Here is what that can mean in practice:
Whole-Boat Hauling or Towing
When access and structural condition support it, the vessel may be hauled away whole or towed from the property. This is straightforward when the hull is intact, the trailer is serviceable, and the access path allows a tow vehicle to maneuver.
Complete On-Site Dismantling
Some boats are better handled by breaking them down on site. A vessel with a severely deteriorated hull, a failed trailer, or limited access that prevents whole-unit transport may be suitable for complete on-site dismantling. After dismantling, the resulting ordinary debris is hauled away. This is a legitimate and common approach — not a lesser option.
Off-Site Routing for Salvage, Recycling, or Disposal
When appropriate for the specific job, materials or the vessel as a whole may be routed to salvage, recycling, or a disposal facility. This is not the default for every job. Responsible disposal is part of how we plan each removal, but the right routing depends on the vessel's materials, condition, and what facilities are appropriate and available. We confirm facility acceptance during the estimate process rather than assuming it in advance.
Fuel, oil, batteries, and other hazardous materials require separate assessment. If your boat contains these materials, note it when you submit your information. We will address it as part of the job review rather than making a blanket promise about handling.

Our service area in Ohio extends well beyond any single city — we are serving Lee and a broad network of communities throughout the state.
Athens County property owners and managers dealing with junk boat situations or inherited vessels should know that Ohio treats a watercraft title as ownership evidence and sets transfer requirements. Current records should be checked through the appropriate state or county office.

We can help you understand what the job review will look at.
For customers in Lee who are managing an estate sale, a property cleanup, or a marina slip that needs to be cleared, we can coordinate the removal within a project timeline. Submit your deadline along with the other job details so the estimate reflects your schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information should I submit to get a quote?
Send the service address, clear photos of the boat from multiple angles and the full access path, the approximate boat length and type, whether a trailer is present and its condition, the hull material and motor type if known, and any deadline or site access rules. The more complete your submission, the more accurate the estimate.
Can you remove a non-running or badly damaged boat?
Yes. Non-running, storm-damaged, rotted, fire-damaged, and otherwise compromised vessels are reviewed for removal. The condition affects the method selected — a boat that cannot be towed whole may be a candidate for on-site dismantling — but damage alone does not disqualify a job. Submerged vessels and boats over 40 feet require additional review before scheduling is confirmed.
Do I need ownership documents before calling?
Documentation needs depend on the individual job. In some situations — estate jobs, abandoned vessels, or removals from commercial facilities — ownership or authorization review becomes part of the planning. Ohio does set requirements around watercraft titles and transfers. Rather than publishing a checklist that may not apply to your case, we determine what is needed during the job review. If your situation involves any uncertainty, speak with an EZ Hauling representative before the removal is scheduled.
How soon can you schedule the removal?
Same-day or next-day service may be available when the schedule and job conditions allow. It is not guaranteed for every job. Once your estimate is accepted and the deposit is collected, we will confirm the available schedule. Jobs with unusual access, dismantling requirements, or coordination needs may require more lead time.
What happens to the boat after it leaves my property?
That depends on the job. Some vessels are transported whole to an appropriate facility. Others are dismantled on site, and the resulting ordinary debris is hauled away. When salvage, recycling, or specific disposal routing is appropriate for the vessel's materials and condition, it may be part of the plan — but facility acceptance must be confirmed, and it is not the automatic outcome for every removal. We address this during the estimate rather than making promises in advance.
Does the trailer get removed too?
A boat trailer can be included in the removal scope. Its condition — structural integrity, tires, hitch, and overall state — is a factor in how the job is planned and priced. Include the trailer in your photo submission and note its condition so the estimate reflects the full scope of what needs to be hauled away.
