Dale's take on Elmont
I've pulled boats out of Elmont backyards for two decades. Some came with the house, buried in an estate cleanout where the new owner just wanted it gone. Others sat for years after the owner listed it one season, got no offers, and decided to stop paying the storage lot bill. A couple had motors that seized up, and the repair quote was more than the hull was worth. When someone finally calls, they're done looking at it.
Hansons Boat Removal shows up and handles the old boat from your backyard start to finish. We tow it out, manage the paperwork, and dispose of it responsibly. Jobs in South Floral Park often stack with an Elmont call the same afternoon. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the New York page.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in Elmont
We handle the full removal of any vessel in Elmont, from the initial haul-out through final disposal. Jobs start around $250. Most calls come from three situations: a boat sitting on a dead trailer in someone's driveway, a vessel tucked away in a storage lot, or a slip-bound boat at a local marina. We bring a heavy-duty trailer, hydraulic lift, and whatever rigging gear the vessel needs. Once we load it, the same route runs through North Valley Stream and Bellerose, and we transport it to our yard or the processor depending on what we find. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. No mess left behind, no surprises on the bill. 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 New York pricing section.
Common questions about Elmont boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Elmont?
Cost in Elmont 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 Elmont?
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 Elmont?
New York titles motorboats built in 1987 or later that measure 14 feet or more, using the Certificate of Title (MV-999). Boats lose their paperwork all the time, and we pick them up anyway. Check the legal section on the New York page for how it works here.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Elmont?
Most Elmont 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 Elmont?
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.
