Titles in Kentucky:Kentucky titles nearly every motorized boat (motors are not titled separately).
Dale's take on Paducah
I've pulled a lot of old boats out of Paducah backyards. Some came with the house when someone inherited a property and didn't want the liability. Others sat in storage lots where the monthly bill kept climbing and nobody was coming to move them. One was a fiberglass hull with a dead motor and a repair quote that cost more than the boat was worth. The owner had just stopped looking at it.
We handle the full job start to finish for Paducah and the surrounding area. Jobs in Farley often stack with a Paducah call, which keeps the crew efficient and costs down. Whether it's an estate cleanout, a vessel rotting on a trailer, or a junk boat taking up space, we tow it and manage every detail. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the Kentucky page.

Common questions about Paducah boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Paducah?
Cost in Paducah 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 Paducah?
Free removal in Paducah depends on what the boat still has going for it. Salvage value covers some jobs entirely. We look at photos, tell you straight which case is yours, then schedule.
Can you remove a boat without a title in Paducah?
Yes. Kentucky titles nearly every motorized boat (motors are not titled separately). And missing paperwork is one of the most common things we see in Paducah. What we need from you is on the Kentucky page, in the legal section.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Paducah?
Most Paducah 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?
No. Out-of-state owners are half this business. The crew documents the pickup with photos, you approve, and the paperwork closes out 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 Paducah?
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.
