Dale's take on Palos

I've pulled a lot of junk boats out of Palos backyards over the years. Some came with the house, the previous owner's problem became yours the day you closed. Others sat through a season or two on the market with no takers, and by then the storage lot fees had stacked up past what the hull was worth. A fiberglass cruiser with a dead motor and a repair quote that cost more than the boat itself. An HOA letter showing up in the mailbox. That's usually when someone calls.

We handle the full job for Palos, Illinois boat removal from start to finish. If you've got an old boat taking up space, we load it, tow it, and handle the paperwork. Jobs in Palos Park often stack with a Palos call the same afternoon. Whether it's an estate cleanout, a vessel rotting on blocks, or a storage situation that's gone too long, the crew takes it from your property and off your plate. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the Illinois page.

What's covered

What boat removal covers in Palos

We handle every part of removing your vessel from Palos, Illinois, start to finish. Jobs start around $250. Most boats we pull come from a driveway on a dead trailer, a storage lot, or a marina slip, and we've got the equipment and crew to load any of them safely. We bring the trailer, the winch, and whatever rigging the vessel needs, then haul it out to our yard or the processor depending on what's salvageable. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. The same route runs through Palos Hills and Hickory Hills, so we cover the whole area in one trip. the process steps below show how scheduling works.

  4. 4

    Crew handles the haul and dismantle

    Loading, lashing, transport, and offload at the processor. Permits pulled if the load is oversize. Hull cut down on site when the trailer will not fit the load.

    Aluminum, motors, hardware and salvageable fiberglass are routed to recyclers first. Only what a facility refuses ends up in a landfill.

Common questions about Palos boat removal

How much does boat removal cost in Palos?
There is no flat rate, and anyone quoting one sight unseen is guessing. What your Palos removal costs depends on the boat, where it sits, and the haul. The number we give you is the one we charge.
Is boat removal ever free in Palos?
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 Palos?
Illinois DNR, not the Secretary of State, handles boating. Either way, missing paperwork does not stop a Palos pickup. The legal section on the Illinois page covers what applies and what we need from you.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Palos?
Fast. A typical Palos pickup lands within a few days of the quote, with the window confirmed the day before. The crew calls an hour out so nobody waits around.
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?
Yes, and most people want it gone with the boat. Flat tires, rusted frame, seized hubs, none of it matters, we winch the boat and load the trailer separately if it will not roll.
What kinds of boats do you take in Palos?
If it is a boat, yes. Fiberglass or aluminum, power or sail, running or long dead. The rough ones are most of what we do, so nothing about yours will surprise the crew.
