Dale's take on Independence

I get calls from Independence homeowners who inherited a boat with the house and never wanted it, or who listed a junk boat for sale one season and watched it sit through three winters with no offers. Others are done paying slip fees on a vessel that hasn't run in years, or they got a repair quote that cost more than the hull was worth. Some get a letter from the HOA or code enforcement. Either way, they're stuck with it.

We handle old boat removal start to finish in Independence and the surrounding area, including jobs in Village of Clarkston that often stack with an Independence call the same afternoon. The crew loads it, tows it, handles the title transfer, and deals with all the paperwork so you don't have to. Missing paperwork does not stop the job. Details on the Michigan page.

Common questions about Independence boat removal

How much does boat removal cost in Independence?
There is no flat rate, and anyone quoting one sight unseen is guessing. What your Independence 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 Independence?
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 Independence?
Yes. Michigan titles some boats, not all. And missing paperwork is one of the most common things we see in Independence. What we need from you is on the Michigan page, in the legal section.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Independence?
Fast. A typical Independence 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 Independence 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 Independence?
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.
