Professional Boat Removal Services in Loramie, OH
EZ Hauling Services removes old, damaged, non-running, and unwanted boats from driveways, backyards, docks, storage lots, and marina properties throughout Loramie and across Shelby County. Whether you're a homeowner, property manager, estate representative, or a commercial business, the process starts the same way: send us your address, clear photos of the boat and its access path, the approximate length and type, trailer status, and any site rules or deadlines. We review the details, confirm what the job requires, and provide a scope and estimate before anything is scheduled.
Boat Conditions and Types We Review for Removal
Boat removal services in Loramie cover a wide range of situations. A vessel doesn't need to be seaworthy—or even structurally intact—for us to evaluate it. The following categories are among those we regularly review:
- Condition: Non-running, storm-damaged, fire-damaged, rotting, partially submerged, or boats that have sat in storage for years without maintenance.
- Type: Motorboats, sailboats, pontoons, fishing boats, personal watercraft, small watercraft, and boat trailers. We also review kayaks, canoes, rowboats, dinghies, paddle boats, and paddleboards.
- Setting: Residential driveway, backyard, yard, dock area, marina slip, storage facility lot, or commercial property.
Vessels with special circumstances—such as a junk boat that is submerged, a yacht or catamaran over 40 feet, or a boat without clear ownership records—require additional review before we can schedule the job. If your situation seems unusual, reach out and describe it; we'll tell you what we need to move forward.
Our boat removal services include an honest assessment of what the job actually involves. A junk boat sitting on a rusted trailer in a tight driveway is a different job from a sailboat stored at a marina. We treat them accordingly.
The Estimate and Removal-Planning Process
Every boat removal quote starts with a photo-based estimate—not a generic rate pulled from a table. Here is the procedure from first contact to scheduled removal:
- Submit your details. Send the service address, photos of the boat from multiple angles, photos of the access path, approximate boat length, boat type, motor type if applicable, trailer status, and any site-specific rules or deadlines. Customers in Loramie can call (888) 401-7041 or request a quote online.
- Job review. We review your photos and information to understand access, condition, and what the removal will actually involve. For complex situations, an on-site assessment may be needed before we finalize the scope.
- Scope and estimate. Once we've reviewed the job, we provide a written scope and estimate that covers the selected removal method, access logistics, and any situation-specific requirements. No scheduling happens until you understand and approve what's planned.
- Schedule removal. We coordinate a removal window that fits your timeline. Same-day or next-day service may be available when the schedule and job conditions allow, though neither is guaranteed.
- Removal and completion. The crew executes the agreed removal method and the remaining balance is collected only after the job is complete.
If anything about the applicable requirements is unclear—particularly around ownership, authorization, or site rules—you may need to speak directly with an EZ Hauling representative before we finalize the plan. That conversation is part of the process, not an obstacle.
Transparent Pricing and Deposit Terms
Pricing is job-specific, but we publish starting points so you know roughly what to expect before you request a quote.
- Small non-powered watercraft (kayaks, canoes, rowboats, dinghies, paddle boats, paddleboards)
- Starting at $850 flat. A 25% booking deposit applies.
- Powered personal watercraft and sailing dinghies
- Starting at $1,200 flat. A 25% booking deposit applies.
- Motorboats and sailboats
- A $1,000 minimum applies. The final estimate depends on length, motor type, access, trailer condition, whether dismantling is required, transport distance, and disposal requirements. A 35% booking deposit applies for sailboats; 25% for motorboats.
The remaining balance is not collected until the job is complete. The factors most likely to affect your final cost include boat length, how difficult access is, whether the trailer is functional or degraded, whether on-site dismantling is needed, and how the materials must be handled afterward. An affordable rate is only meaningful if it reflects the real scope of your job—that's why we review before we quote.
Do not rely on starting prices alone for budgeting purposes. Submit photos and details and we will give you an accurate, job-specific quote.
Access, Trailer Condition, and Authorization Review
Two factors shape nearly every boat removal job before the crew ever arrives: physical access and ownership or authorization clarity.
Access and Site Conditions
Tight driveways, soft ground, low overhangs, dock configurations, and marina rules all affect how a removal can be executed. When you submit photos, include the full path from the boat to the nearest point where a vehicle can reach. Describe any gates, fences, overhead clearances, or surface conditions. If site access is genuinely difficult, an on-site assessment may be required before we finalize the method and estimate.
Trailer Status
A functional trailer changes the job considerably—it may allow the boat to be towed rather than lifted or dismantled. A degraded or missing trailer creates different constraints. Include the trailer's condition in your submission: whether it has tires, whether it is attached, and whether it will be included in the removal.
Ownership and Authorization
Ohio law treats a watercraft title as evidence of ownership and sets transfer requirements; current records should be confirmed through the appropriate state or county office. Documentation needs for any given removal depend on the individual job review. We do not publish a universal document checklist because requirements vary by situation—boat type, location, ownership history, and site rules all play a role. If the applicable requirements are unclear in your case, speak with an EZ Hauling representative before proceeding. For marina, boatyard, or storage-facility managers, removal authorization and access coordination requirements should be discussed during the estimate process.
How We Remove Boats: A Job-Specific Method
There is no single mandatory removal workflow. The boat removal process is selected after reviewing photos, boat dimensions, access conditions, trailer status, and the removal setting. Three general approaches are used depending on what the job requires:
- Whole-boat hauling or towing: When access, trailer condition, and boat integrity allow, the vessel may be transported whole—either towed on its own trailer or hauled via another method. This is the most straightforward path when conditions support it.
- Complete on-site dismantling: When a boat cannot be moved whole due to size, structural condition, access constraints, or other factors, it may be fully dismantled on site. The resulting ordinary debris is then hauled away. This is a legitimate removal method, not a workaround.
- Off-site routing when appropriate: Depending on the materials involved, some components may be routed to salvage, recycling, or disposal facilities when that is appropriate for the job. This is not a guaranteed outcome; responsible disposal decisions are made based on the specific job and facility acceptance, which must be confirmed at the time.
Fuel, oil, batteries, and other hazardous materials require separate assessment and coordination. Do not assume those items are included in a standard removal scope—they will be addressed specifically during the job review. Heavy lifting decisions are made after, not before, reviewing what the job actually requires.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do I need to request an estimate?
Send your service address, clear photos of the boat from multiple angles, photos of the access path, the boat type and approximate length, motor type if applicable, trailer condition and status, and any relevant site rules or deadlines. That information allows us to review the job accurately and provide a realistic quote rather than a placeholder number.
My boat doesn't run and hasn't moved in years. Can you still remove it?
Yes. Non-running, damaged, and long-neglected vessels are exactly the kind of situation our boat removal process is designed to handle. The boat's condition affects the method we select and potentially the cost, but it does not disqualify it from removal. Submit photos showing current condition and we'll review from there.
Do I need specific documents before you'll schedule a removal?
Documentation needs depend on the individual job review. Ohio law has requirements around watercraft titles and ownership transfers; what applies to your specific situation depends on the boat, its history, and the removal setting. We do not publish a universal checklist. If you're unsure what you need, speak with an EZ Hauling representative—that conversation is part of the estimate process for situations where ownership or authorization isn't straightforward.
How quickly can you schedule a removal in Loramie?
Same-day service or next-day service may be available when the schedule and job conditions allow. Neither is guaranteed. Once you submit your details and we complete the job review, we'll confirm what scheduling looks like and coordinate a removal window that works for your situation.
Will the boat be hauled away whole, or could it be dismantled on site?
The method depends entirely on the job. A structurally sound boat on a working trailer in an accessible driveway is a candidate for towing or whole-boat transport. A deteriorated vessel in a tight space may be better served by complete on-site dismantling followed by hauling away the remaining ordinary debris. We select the method after reviewing photos and access—not before. Both approaches are standard parts of our service.
Does the removal include the trailer?
It can. Trailer removal and disposal are handled as part of the job scope when included, and trailer condition is one of the factors that affects the estimate. Specify the trailer's status—whether it's attached, what condition it's in, and whether you want it included—when you submit your initial information.
