Dale's take on Selden
I've pulled plenty of old boats out of Selden backyards. Some came with the house when someone bought it, inherited along with the mortgage and a slip bill that wouldn't quit. Others sat through a season on the market with no buyers, the owner hoping someone would take it off their hands. One was a dead motor with a repair quote that cost more than the hull was worth. The storage lot fees just kept coming. That's how most of my calls start here.
We handle the whole thing for Selden, from the moment you call to the day the paperwork clears. The junk boat comes out on the tow truck, and we handle the title work, the logistics, the vessel itself. Jobs in Coram often stack with a Selden 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 Selden
We handle the full removal of any vessel in Selden, 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 storage lot where it's been taking up space for years, or a marina slip that needs clearing. When we arrive, we bring the equipment to load safely, whether the boat's on blocks, a trailer, or in the water. We haul it to our yard or the processor, where boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. The same route runs through Farmingville and Terryville, so if you're in those areas, the logistics work the same way. Title transfer and all the paperwork happens before we leave your property. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

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.

Common questions about Selden boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Selden?
Cost in Selden 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 Selden?
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 Selden?
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 Selden?
Most Selden 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 Selden?
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.
