EZ Hauling Services provides professional boat removal services in New Albany, OH for boat owners, property managers, marina and storage-facility operators, estate representatives, and businesses that need an old, damaged, non-running, or unwanted vessel removed.

Boat Types and Conditions We Review for Removal
Our boat removal services include a wide range of vessel types. Whether you have a motorboat sitting in your driveway, a sailboat stored behind a commercial property, a pontoon on a trailer in your backyard, a junk boat parked in a storage lot, or personal watercraft taking up dock space, each situation gets an individual job review before we schedule anything.
Specific boat categories we review include:
- Motorboats (inboard and outboard)
- Sailboats and sailing dinghies
- Pontoon boats
- Fishing boats
- Personal watercraft (jet skis and similar)
- Small watercraft — kayaks, canoes, rowboats, dinghies, paddle boats, and paddleboards
- Boat trailers (standalone or attached)
- Catamaran and yacht hulls subject to additional review by size and access
We review boats in a range of condition states: storm damage, hull damage, rot, incomplete repairs, engines that no longer run, vessels without current registration, and boats that have been sitting idle for years. Submerged boats, houseboats, boats over 40 feet, and boats with unclear ownership require additional review before we can schedule the job. Fuel, oil, batteries, and similar materials also require separate assessment; we do not imply unconditional handling of those items.
The Photo-Based Estimate and Removal-Planning Process
Every boat removal in New Albany begins with a photo-based estimate — not a generic rate sheet. Here is the boat removal process from first contact through scheduled removal:
- Submit your details. Provide the property address, clear photos of the boat from multiple angles, photos of the full access path, the boat type and approximate length, motor type if applicable, trailer status, and any deadline or site rules.
- Job review. EZ Hauling reviews the photos and information to determine whether an on-site assessment is needed, whether any authorization documentation applies to your situation, and which removal method fits the job.
- Estimate and scope. We provide a written estimate that covers the selected removal method, access plan, and pricing before we schedule anything. There are no surprises after the work begins.
- Scheduling. Once the estimate is accepted and the booking deposit is collected, we schedule the removal. Same-day or next-day service may be available when scheduling and job conditions allow; it is not guaranteed.
- Removal and site clearance. Our crew or a verified licensed and insured partner crew executes the approved plan and clears the site.
This procedure keeps both sides informed. Customers in New Albany benefit from knowing exactly what will happen, when, and at what cost before any work begins.
Transparent Pricing and Deposit Terms
Pricing depends on boat type, length, motor type, access difficulty, trailer condition, whether dismantling is required, transport distance, and any situation-specific disposal requirements. The figures below are starting prices, not flat quotes for every job.
- Small non-powered watercraft (kayaks, canoes, rowboats, dinghies, paddle boats, paddleboards)
- Starting at $850 flat — 25% booking deposit, balance due at job completion.
- Powered personal watercraft and sailing dinghies
- Starting at $1,200 flat — 25% booking deposit, balance due at job completion.
- Motorboats and sailboats
- Starting at $1,000 minimum — 35% booking deposit for sailboats, 25% for motorboats; balance due at job completion. The final estimate reflects length, motor type, access, trailer condition, any required dismantling, transport, and disposal requirements.
Factors that commonly change a quote include restricted access (narrow gates, soft ground, tight turns), a trailer that must be moved separately, on-site dismantling requirements, the presence of fuel or oil that needs separate coordination, and boat length. Send your photos and details for a job-specific estimate rather than relying on the starting prices alone.
Our affordable, straightforward rate structure means the balance is not collected until the job is complete — the booking deposit simply confirms the schedule.
Access, Trailer Status, and Ownership or Authorization Review
Access is one of the biggest variables in any boat removal. A boat stored in an open driveway is a different job than one sitting behind a locked facility gate, at a marina with specific check-in rules, or in a backyard with a narrow side-yard clearance. When you submit photos, include clear images of the full access path from the street to the boat so we can plan the right approach.
Trailer condition matters equally. A trailer with working wheels and intact bunks simplifies transport; a trailer with flat tires, a broken hitch, or severe corrosion may change the removal method and the cost. Note the trailer status in your submission.
On the ownership and authorization side, Ohio law treats a watercraft title as ownership evidence and sets transfer requirements; current records should be checked through the appropriate state or county office. Whether any documentation review is needed for your specific job depends on the situation — boat type, where it is stored, and who holds interest in it. We do not publish a universal document checklist because requirements vary by job. If your situation involves an estate, a commercial property, a marina slip, or uncertain ownership, speak with an EZ Hauling representative early so we can identify what, if anything, needs to be addressed before scheduling.
Job-Specific Removal Methods: Haul, Tow, or Dismantle
No single removal method applies to every job. After the job review, EZ Hauling selects the approach that fits the boat's size, condition, access, and location. The approved method may be one of the following:
- Whole-boat hauling: The vessel is loaded and transported intact. This is common when the boat is structurally sound, the trailer is serviceable, and access allows a standard haul vehicle to reach and exit the site.
- Towing: When the boat can be moved under tow rather than loaded onto a hauler, towing may be the practical choice depending on access and condition.
- Complete on-site dismantling followed by ordinary debris hauling: When a boat cannot be transported whole — due to severe damage, confined access, or the condition of the hull — the crew may dismantle the vessel on site. The resulting ordinary debris is then hauled away. This is a legitimate and sometimes the most practical outcome; it does not require a specialized facility for every material stream.
Off-site salvage, recycling, or responsible disposal routing is used only when it is appropriate for the specific job and the receiving facility's acceptance can be confirmed. We do not promise a recycling or eco-friendly outcome for every removal, and we do not name a facility unless its acceptance for that material has been verified. When those options apply to your job, we will note them in the estimate.
The marine vessel removal plan — including which method applies, which crew handles the job, and what heavy lifting or equipment is needed — is determined during the review, not before.
Serving New Albany and All of Franklin County, OH
EZ Hauling Services is fully licensed and insured, and any partner crew used to fulfill a job is verified as licensed and insured as well. We are serving New Albany and all of Franklin County as part of our confirmed Ohio service area. Whether the boat is on a residential property throughout New Albany, at a commercial storage site, or at a marina or dock location in the surrounding area, the estimate process is the same: submit photos, details, and access notes, and we build a removal plan around what is actually there.
Franklin County covers a broad geography, and access conditions vary across the city and the county. Because no specific local disposal facility acceptance, county permit, or marina policy was verified for this area, those details — when they apply to your job — will be confirmed during the estimate rather than assumed. That approach protects you from scheduling a removal only to discover a site rule or facility requirement that was not accounted for.
If you are a business, estate representative, or property manager with a deadline-driven project across Franklin County, note the deadline and project context when you submit your request. We will factor that into the scheduling conversation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information do I need to send to get a quote?
Send the service address, clear photos of the boat from multiple angles and of the full access path, the boat type and approximate length, motor type if applicable, trailer status, the boat's current condition, and any site rules or deadlines. That information allows us to review the job and provide a meaningful estimate rather than a placeholder number.
My boat doesn't run and is in poor condition. Can you still remove it?
Yes. Non-running and damaged boats are common removal requests. The condition affects which removal method we select and may affect the estimate, but a junk boat or junk boat removal near me situation does not automatically disqualify a job. Submit photos so we can assess the condition and plan accordingly. Boats with submerged components, severe structural compromise, or hazardous material concerns require additional review before scheduling.
Will I need to provide ownership documents or authorization before removal?
It depends on the job. Ohio treats a watercraft title as ownership evidence, but whether documentation needs to be reviewed before your specific removal is scheduled depends on the boat type, where it is stored, and the ownership situation. We do not publish a universal checklist because requirements vary. If your situation is unclear — for example, an estate vessel, an abandoned boat, or a marina slip — speak with an EZ Hauling representative before assuming documentation is or is not needed.
How quickly can the removal be scheduled?
Same-day or next-day service may be available when the schedule and job conditions allow. It is not guaranteed. The timeline depends on current schedule availability, how quickly the job review can be completed, and whether any additional steps — such as an on-site assessment or a documentation review — are needed before the crew can be dispatched.
Does the boat have to be transported whole, or are there other options?
The removal method is job-specific. A boat may be hauled whole, towed, or completely dismantled on site with the resulting debris hauled away as ordinary material. The right approach depends on the boat's size, structural condition, access, and trailer status. Off-site salvage or recycling routing is used when appropriate and when facility acceptance can be confirmed — it is not a standard part of every removal.
What about the trailer? Is that included?
Trailer removal can be included, but the trailer's condition affects the estimate. A serviceable trailer is handled differently from one with flat tires, a seized axle, or major corrosion. Note the trailer status when you submit your photos and details so we can account for it in the scope and pricing.
