I've pulled a lot of old boats out of Allendale backyards. Some came with the house when someone bought the property and inherited the problem. Others sat there because the owner listed it one season, got no offers, and gave up. A few had storage fees that climbed higher than the boat was worth, or a dead motor with a repair quote that made no sense. The backyard becomes a storage lot, and eventually someone calls us.
We tow the junk boat from your property start to finish, paperwork and all. A pickup in Lamont the same afternoon doesn't slow us down. We handle estate cleanout situations, rotted hulls, vessels with no title, anything that's stuck. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the Michigan page.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in Allendale
We handle the full removal of your vessel in Allendale, from the moment we arrive until the boat is gone and the paperwork is done. Jobs start around $250. Most calls come from three situations: a boat sitting on a dead trailer in someone's driveway, a hull stored in a backyard or storage lot, or a slip rental that's become a money pit at the marina. We show up with a heavy trailer, a winch, and whatever rigging it takes to load safely. The same route runs through Blendon and Coopersville, so we handle that territory on the same schedule. Once it's loaded, the vessel goes to our yard or the processor depending on what's salvageable. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

3
Schedule the removal in Allendale
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.

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
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 Michigan pricing section.
Common questions about Allendale boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Allendale?
Cost in Allendale 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 Allendale?
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 Allendale?
Michigan titles some boats, not all. Boats lose their paperwork all the time, and we pick them up anyway. Check the legal section on the Michigan page for how it works here.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Allendale?
Most Allendale 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 Allendale?
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.
