Dale's take on Lincoln
I've pulled plenty of old boats out of Lincoln backyards. Some came with the house when someone inherited the property and didn't want the liability. Others sat because the owner listed it one season, got no offers, and decided to move on. Either way, the boat stays put while the bills don't. Storage lot fees stack up. Slip rent keeps coming. A dead motor with a repair quote that costs more than the hull is worth kills any thought of fixing it. That's when people call us.
Hansons Boat Removal handles the whole job from start to finish. We load the junk boat, tow it out, and handle the paperwork so you don't have to think about it again. We run jobs in North Providence often stack with a Lincoln call the same afternoon. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the Rhode Island page.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in Lincoln
We handle the full removal of any vessel in Lincoln, Rhode Island, no matter where it's sitting or what condition it's in. Jobs start around $250. Most calls come from driveways where a boat's been parked on a dead trailer for years, storage lots where someone's paying monthly rent on something they don't use, or marina slips where a hull is taking up space. We show up with a flatbed truck, a crane if needed, and the equipment to load safely. Once it's on the truck, we haul it to our yard or the processor, depending on what's salvageable. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. Lincoln sits on a route that also serves Cumberland and Valley Falls, so scheduling is straightforward. The process steps below show how scheduling works.
Boat length, condition, location in Lincoln, and any access notes: gated property, narrow driveway, in-water slip. Photos speed up the quote.

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 Rhode Island pricing section.
Common questions about Lincoln boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Lincoln?
The pricing section above is the honest answer: a starting point, then four things that move it. Size, location, condition, distance. Photos of your boat in Lincoln get you a firm number the same day.
Is boat removal ever free in Lincoln?
Sometimes. A running outboard or decent aluminum can carry the cost, and we take the boat for nothing. No value means a fee. We tell you which one you have before anything is scheduled.
Can you remove a boat without a title in Lincoln?
Rhode Island titles boats over 14 feet; anything 14 feet or shorter is not required to have one, though registration is required for all motorized boats and anything over 12 feet. Boats lose their paperwork all the time, and we pick them up anyway. Check the legal section on the Rhode Island page for how it works here.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Lincoln?
Usually within days, not weeks. You get the pickup window the day before and a call when the truck is an hour away. If it has to be this week, say so when you call.
Do I have to be there for the pickup?
No. Plenty of Lincoln owners are at work or out of state. You get photos of the boat loaded before final payment, and the paperwork is handled remotely.
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 Lincoln?
Every kind that shows up in Lincoln: bowriders, pontoons, sailboats, jon boats, jet skis. Condition is not a filter. Missing engine, holed hull, a decade of leaves inside, we still take it.
