Oregon
Twenty years of hauling junk boats out of driveways, marinas, and backyards. Firm quote before the truck rolls.
Storm season does some of the damage I see in Oregon, but it is rarely the only reason a boat ends up with me. A slip bill keeps climbing long after a boat has stopped going out, until the marina calls about it. A motor dies, and the repair quote costs more than the boat itself. Eventually the owner just wants the unwanted boat off their plate.
Boat removal is what my crew handles, from the trailer, the storage lot, or the marina. Pickup, transport, and disposal happen in one visit, and a missing title does not change that. People come to us to get rid of a boat fast, simpler than they expect once we are on site. Paperwork details are further down the page.
Junk boat on a trailer that rolls, with room for the truck to reach it. From there, four things move the number.
I will tell you which ones apply to yours before we schedule anything.
A 14-foot aluminum fishing boat is one job. A 30-foot cabin cruiser is a different one. Length, beam, and weight decide the crew and the equipment.
Driveway on a trailer is the cheapest boat removal there is. On blocks in the backyard takes more work. In a slip, it needs a haul-out. Sunken, it needs recovery.
Engine already out is cheaper. Fuel still aboard, a hull full of rainwater, a trailer that will not roll: each adds handling.
Miles to the processing yard are part of the quote. Boat hauling cost scales with them.
People ask about free junk boat removal. Sometimes the boat has enough going for it, a running outboard, decent aluminum, and we take it for nothing. Sometimes it does not, and there is a fee. We will tell you which one you have.
Twenty years in, nobody has heard a different price at the curb.
Oregon work breaks down into marina pulls, moorage jobs, and driveway calls, pretty much in that order. The haul from most pickups to our processing yard runs long here, and that mileage is a real part of what I quote. Spring de-winterizing and fall storage deadlines are when most owners finally make the call, whether the boat is tied up at a moorage or sitting on a trailer at home. The price I give stays firm all the way through to the truck rolling out.
Real crew snapshots from recent Oregon pickups. Watermarked photos are placeholders while we swap in the real jobs.



One boat, a whole yard, or an emergency. Old boat removal from a driveway or an estate. Junk boat pickup for the one that never sold. Marinas and boat yards call us to clear a season of abandoned slips in one visit. Insurance adjusters call after storms. My crew has floated sunken boats, hauled sailboats out of backyards, and moved a 40-footer through a neighborhood that was not built for it. One call covers removal, transport, and disposal. If it floats, floated, or was supposed to float, we haul it.
Oregon titles every motorized boat, regardless of length, and every sailboat 12 feet or longer.
Hand over the original title with the release of interest section signed and dated by every owner on record. A lost title needs Oregon's Lost/Replacement Title application, notarized or with a photo ID copy. Oregon does not use a bonded title for boats. A full title and registration together run $81; the cost of a replacement title alone is not confirmed.
Oregon runs two removal programs. The Department of State Lands Abandoned and Derelict Vessel Program, since 2023, started with $18.8 million and removes vessels from state waterways. The Marine Board also runs a smaller fund, about $150,000 per two year cycle, reimbursing public agencies up to 90% of removal costs. The last titled owner is billed for the rest.
If the boat is not yours. Both Oregon programs pay real money toward removal, but only public agencies can apply, not private landowners. Oregon also has no finders law for boats: leaving one without permission is itself an offense, and the registered owner stays liable, not you. Your real option is reporting it to the county sheriff's marine patrol. If that goes nowhere, removal is the practical answer.

In Oregon you can sell it, donate it, haul it to a salvage yard, or call boat removers to take it away. Most people try selling first and give up once no one bites. We're the crew that loads it and hauls it off.
Boat disposal cost in Oregon comes down to the boat, not a flat rate. Size, location, condition, and how far we haul it all move the price, and the pricing section above breaks down each factor.
Your real options in Oregon are a salvage yard, a recycler, or a removal service that handles disposal for you. Landfills mostly refuse a boat dump because the hull material does not break down. We handle that final step as part of the job.
It depends on the boat in front of us, a running outboard or solid aluminum sometimes covers the cost of hauling an unwanted boat for nothing. Without salvage value there's a fee, and we tell you which before scheduling.
Yes, Oregon has boat junkyards and salvage yards like most states. They expect the boat to arrive on a trailer under its own tow. If yours is stuck, waterlogged, or too far gone to move, that's where removal comes in.
Fiberglass hulls get turned away from most landfills, the material just sits there instead of breaking down. The real process is cutting the boat into sections and hauling them to a facility built to take fiberglass. That's a job for a removal service.
Oregon titles nearly every motorized boat and most sailboats, no matter how small. Missing paperwork never stops the pickup, we still come out and load it. That's abandoned boat removal in practice, and the legal section above covers how the title question actually gets resolved.
