Dale's take on South Moline

I've pulled a lot of old boats out of South Moline backyards. Some came with the house when someone inherited the property. Others sat through a season or two while the owner tried to sell, then gave up. I've seen storage lot fees pile up faster than anyone expects, and I've seen repair quotes that cost more than the junk boat itself is worth. That's usually when someone calls.

What's covered

What boat removal covers in South Moline

We handle the full pull of any vessel in South Moline, from the initial haul to the final disposal. Most calls come from boats sitting on a driveway with a dead trailer, parked in a storage lot, or taking up space at a marina slip along the river. We bring a heavy-duty trailer and a winch capable of loading fiberglass, aluminum, or wood hull, then transport it out the same route that runs through Moline and Silvis. Jobs start around $250. Once the boat reaches our yard, we dismantle it for salvage or send it to the processor if there's no recovery value. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. No mess left behind, no surprises on the bill. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How boat removal in South Moline works

  1. 1

    Send photos and the pickup ZIP

    Boat length, condition, location in South Moline, and any access notes: gated property, narrow driveway, in-water slip. Photos speed up the quote.

  2. 2

    Get a fixed quote the same day

    Flat fee covering pickup, transport, and disposal at a licensed facility. No per-hour charges, no fuel surcharges added later.

  3. 3

    Schedule the removal in South Moline

    We coordinate with the marina or property owner. The pickup window is confirmed the day before, and the crew calls when they are an hour out.

  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.

  5. 5

    Destruction documentation

    You receive proof of disposal, title-release paperwork, and the hull ID record. Useful for insurance close-out.

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

The starting price at the top of this page is real. Size, where the boat sits, condition, and distance move it up from there. The full breakdown lives on the Illinois pricing section.

Common questions about South Moline boat removal

How much does boat removal cost in South Moline?
There is no flat rate, and anyone quoting one sight unseen is guessing. What your South Moline 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 South Moline?
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 South Moline?
Illinois DNR, not the Secretary of State, handles boating. Either way, missing paperwork does not stop a South Moline 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 South Moline?
Fast. A typical South Moline 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 South Moline?
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.
