What information do I need to send to get a quote?

Send your service address, clear photos of the boat and the access path, the boat type and approximate length, current condition, trailer status, and any site rules or deadlines. The more detail you provide up front, the more accurate the estimate will be. A job review may also identify whether an on-site assessment is needed before we finalize the scope.

My boat doesn't run and is in rough shape. Can you still remove it?

Yes — non-running, damaged, and heavily deteriorated boats are common removal requests. The condition affects the removal method and may affect the estimate, but a junk boat or a vessel with significant damage is not automatically disqualified. Send photos so we can assess what the job involves.

Does the boat's trailer need to be in working condition?

No. A functional trailer can simplify the removal process, but a rusted, seized, or incomplete trailer doesn't prevent a removal. The trailer's condition is a factor in the job review and may influence the method and the estimate. Include trailer photos and condition notes when you submit.

Will I need to provide ownership documents or authorization paperwork?

It depends on the job. Documentation and authorization requirements vary by vessel situation, location, and who is requesting the removal. Ohio treats a watercraft title as ownership evidence, but there is no universal checklist that applies to every job. If your situation is straightforward, the review may be simple. If it involves an estate, an abandoned vessel, or a commercial property, you may need to speak with an EZ Hauling representative to understand what the review requires before scheduling.

How quickly can the removal be scheduled?

Same-day or next-day service may be available when the schedule and job conditions allow. Timing is not guaranteed and depends on crew availability, the complexity of the job, and whether an on-site assessment is needed before work can begin. Submit your details and we'll confirm what's realistic for your situation.

Does every boat get taken to a recycling or salvage facility?

Not necessarily. The removal method and off-site routing are determined by the individual job. Some boats are hauled whole; others are dismantled on site and the debris is hauled away as ordinary material. Off-site salvage or recycling is used only when it's appropriate for that specific vessel and job. Facility acceptance and any related requirements are confirmed during the estimate process, not assumed in advance.

Boat Conditions and Types We Review for Removal

Our boat removal services include review of a wide range of vessels and situations. If you're not sure whether your boat qualifies, submit photos and details — the job review will determine whether we can proceed and what the removal plan looks like.

Common Conditions

Non-running or mechanically failed boats sitting in a driveway, backyard, yard, or storage lot
Storm-damaged, fire-damaged, or structurally compromised hulls
Boats with significant rot, corrosion, or deteriorated materials
Vessels that have been sitting unused for years with no clear path to repair
Junk boats left behind on a property during an estate settlement or business turnover
Boats occupying marina slips or storage spaces past their welcome

Vessel Types Covered

Our boat removal services include motorboats, sailboats, pontoons, fishing boats, personal watercraft, small watercraft, and boat trailers. We also review catamarans and yachts on a case-by-case basis. Submerged boats, houseboats, vessels over 40 feet, and boats with unsafe access conditions require additional review before we can schedule anything.

The Photo-Based Estimate and Removal Planning Process

Every removal starts with a job-specific review — not a generic price list. Here is the standard procedure:

Submit your information. Send the service address, photos of the boat from multiple angles, photos of the access path (driveway, yard, dock area, storage row), boat type and approximate length, condition notes, trailer status, and any deadline or site rules.
EZ Hauling reviews the details. Our team reviews what you send to assess access, size, condition, and any situation-specific factors. If we need additional photos or an on-site assessment, we'll let you know before quoting.
You receive a scoped estimate. The estimate reflects the specific boat, its condition, the access available, and the removal method that makes sense for the job. Any documentation or authorization needs are identified at this stage, not after you've already booked.
Scheduling is confirmed. Once you approve the scope, we schedule the work. Same-day or next-day service may be available when scheduling and job conditions allow, though it is not guaranteed.
The crew handles the heavy lifting. EZ Hauling crews, or verified licensed and insured partner crews for covered jobs, carry out the approved removal plan. The balance is collected only after the job is complete.

Transparent Pricing and Deposit Information

Our pricing starts at published minimums and is adjusted based on factors specific to your job. No quote is finalized until we've reviewed your photos and details.

Small non-powered watercraft (kayaks, canoes, rowboats, dinghies, paddle boats, paddleboards): Starting at $850 flat. Booking deposit is 25%.

Powered personal watercraft and sailing dinghies: Starting at $1,200 flat. Booking deposit is 25%.

Motorboats and sailboats: Minimum of $1,000. Final estimate depends on length, motor type, access, trailer condition, whether dismantling is required, transport, and disposal requirements. Booking deposit is 35% for sailboats and 25% for motorboats.

The remaining balance is not collected until the job is complete. The factors most likely to affect your final cost include the boat's overall length, how accessible the site is (tight driveway, gated facility, soft ground, dock placement), whether the trailer is intact and functional or needs separate handling, and whether the removal method involves hauling the vessel whole, towing it, or dismantling it on site before hauling away the debris. An affordable, job-specific quote is the only reliable number — contact us to get yours.

Access, Trailer Condition, and Ownership or Authorization Review

Access is one of the most important inputs in any boat removal plan. When you submit your request, describe the path from the street or entry point to where the boat is sitting — whether that's a backyard, a marina slip, a storage row, a commercial yard, or elsewhere in Wheelersburg. Note any overhead clearance issues, soft ground, locked gates, or site rules set by a marina or storage facility manager.

Trailer condition matters too. A functional trailer with a valid hitch and good tires changes the removal approach compared to a trailer that is rusted, seized, or missing wheels. Include trailer status in your photo submission so the job review can account for it.

Ownership and authorization requirements vary by job. Ohio law treats a watercraft title as ownership evidence and sets transfer requirements; current records should be verified through the appropriate state or county office. We do not publish a universal document checklist because the documentation a specific job may require depends on the vessel's situation, where it's located, and who is authorizing the removal. If your situation involves an estate, an abandoned vessel, a commercial property, or any circumstance where authorization is unclear, speak with an EZ Hauling representative before submitting so we can identify what the review will need.

Job-Specific Removal Methods: What May Happen on Removal Day

There is no single mandatory removal workflow. The boat removal process is shaped by what we learn during the estimate review. Depending on the boat's size, condition, access, and location, the approved method may look very different from job to job.

Whole-Boat Hauling or Towing

When access allows and the vessel's structure supports it, the crew may haul or tow the boat out of the site intact. This is common for boats on functional trailers or in accessible storage facilities where a tow vehicle can reach the vessel without significant obstruction.

Complete On-Site Dismantling

For vessels where whole-boat transport is not practical — due to size, severe damage, tight access, or unstable structure — the crew may dismantle the boat completely on site and then haul away the resulting ordinary debris. This is a legitimate and often the most practical approach for heavily deteriorated junk boats.

Off-Site Routing When Appropriate

When a boat's materials or components warrant it, off-site salvage, recycling, or responsible disposal routing may be used. This is a conditional option applied only when appropriate for a specific job — not a universal promise. Fuel, oil, batteries, and other hazardous materials require separate assessment and coordination; we do not imply unconditional handling of these materials. Facility acceptance and any applicable requirements must be confirmed during the estimate for your specific job.
