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.

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.

Common questions about Altoona boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Altoona?
There is no flat rate, and anyone quoting one sight unseen is guessing. What your Altoona 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 Altoona?
Sometimes. A running outboard or decent aluminum can carry the cost, and we take the boat for nothing. No value means a fee. We tell you which one you have before anything is scheduled.
Can you remove a boat without a title in Altoona?
Yes. Iowa requires a title for boats 17 feet and longer used mainly on its waters; canoes, kayaks, and inflatables are exempt regardless of length, as are USCG-documented boats. And missing paperwork is one of the most common things we see in Altoona. What we need from you is on the Iowa page, in the legal section.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Altoona?
Fast. A typical Altoona 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?
No. Plenty of Altoona owners are at work or out of state. You get photos of the boat loaded before final payment, and the paperwork is handled remotely.
Can you take the trailer too?
Yes. The trailer usually goes with the boat, and its condition does not matter. If it rolls, we tow it. If it does not, it rides on the truck.
What kinds of boats do you take in Altoona?
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.
