Dale's take on Genoa
I've pulled boats out of Genoa backyards for years. Some came with the house when someone inherited the property and had no idea what to do with a rotting fiberglass hull sitting on flat trailer tires. Others were listed for a season, didn't move, and the owner finally stopped answering calls about it. A few had storage lot bills that kept climbing, or the repair quote on the motor cost more than the junk boat was worth. Either way, people reach out when they're done.
We tow the old boat out start to finish. A lot of jobs in Genoa stack with a pickup in Galena the same afternoon, so we move fast and keep costs reasonable. The crew handles the whole thing, load it, haul it, take care of the title work. Missing paperwork does not stop the job; details on the Ohio page cover what we need and what we handle.

What boat removal covers in Genoa
We handle the full removal of your vessel in Genoa, Ohio, whether it's sitting on a dead trailer in your driveway, parked at a storage lot, or taking up a slip at a marina. Jobs start around $250. The crew shows up with a trailer and the right equipment to load safely, then hauls your boat out. We run the same route through Westerville and Berkshire, so if you're near those areas, timing works the same. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. Once we have it, the process steps below show how scheduling works.

Common questions about Genoa boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Genoa?
Cost in Genoa 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 Genoa?
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 Genoa?
Ohio requires a title for any boat 14 feet or longer, any boat under 14 feet with a fixed motor of 10 horsepower or more, and any outboard motor of 10 horsepower or more. Boats lose their paperwork all the time, and we pick them up anyway. Check the legal section on the Ohio page for how it works here.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Genoa?
Most Genoa 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 Genoa?
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.
