Dale's take on Russellville
We pull old boats out of Russellville backyards all the time. Sometimes it's an estate cleanout and the junk boat came with the house. Sometimes someone listed it for a season, got no buyers, and decided to move on. Either way, the boat's been sitting. The motor's dead or the repair quote was bigger than the hull was worth. The storage lot bill keeps climbing. You're done looking at it.
We tow it out start to finish. The crew handles the title work, the haul, and the paperwork so you don't have to. Jobs in Pottsville often stack with a Russellville call the same afternoon, which keeps costs down for both. Missing paperwork does not stop the job. Details on the Arkansas page.

Common questions about Russellville boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Russellville?
Cost in Russellville starts where the pricing above starts, and the boat itself sets the rest: size, where it sits, condition, and the haul. Send photos and the ZIP, the number you get is the number you pay.
Is boat removal ever free in Russellville?
It happens, when the boat pays its own way. Scrap aluminum or a motor that runs can cover the trip. If yours does not have that, there is a fee, and you hear it before we book.
Can you remove a boat without a title in Russellville?
Arkansas titles only motorboats manufactured on or after January 1, 2020, under Act 733 of 2019. Boats lose their paperwork all the time, and we pick them up anyway. Check the legal section on the Arkansas page for how it works here.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Russellville?
Most Russellville jobs are scheduled within a couple of days. The window is confirmed the day before, and the crew calls when they are an hour out. Rush jobs depend on the route, call early.
Do I have to be there for the pickup?
Not if you cannot be. We photograph the boat loaded and send it over before final payment. Paperwork happens by phone and email, wherever you are.
Can you take the trailer too?
We take the trailer whenever you want it gone, which is almost always. Rotted tires and seized hubs are normal. The boat gets winched, the trailer gets loaded, the driveway gets empty.
What kinds of boats do you take in Russellville?
Any of them. Fiberglass cruisers, aluminum fishing boats, pontoons, sailboats, jet skis. No engine, flat tires, full of leaves and rainwater, still yes. If it was supposed to float, we haul it.
