Dale's take on Prior Lake
I've pulled boats out of Prior Lake backyards for years now. Most calls come the same way. Someone inherited the house with an old boat still sitting there, or they're cleaning out an estate and the vessel's been taking up space for a decade. Other times a homeowner listed it for a season, got no offers, and decided to move on instead of storing it another year.
We handle the full job start to finish, from Prior Lake to the recycler. Jobs in Credit River often stack with a Prior Lake call the same afternoon. We load the junk boat, tow it out, pull the title paperwork, and handle what comes next. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the Minnesota page.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in Prior Lake
We handle the full removal of any vessel in Prior Lake, from the initial haul to final disposal. Jobs start around $250. Most calls come from driveways where a boat's been sitting on a dead trailer, storage lots where space costs money, or marina slips where the slip rental won't stop until the hull's gone. We show up with a trailer, dollies, and whatever rigging we need to load safely. Once it's on the truck, we take it to our yard or the processor depending on what's salvageable. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. The same route runs through Spring Lake and Savage, so if you're in that corridor, timing's usually quick. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

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.
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 Minnesota pricing section.
Common questions about Prior Lake boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Prior Lake?
Cost in Prior Lake 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 Prior Lake?
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 Prior Lake?
Minnesota titles most boats: once a boat has been here more than 90 consecutive days, it needs one. Boats lose their paperwork all the time, and we pick them up anyway. Check the legal section on the Minnesota page for how it works here.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Prior Lake?
Most Prior Lake 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 Prior Lake?
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.
