We get calls from Martha Lake homeowners who inherited a boat with the house and have no idea what to do with it. Others listed a sailboat or cruiser for a season, got no serious offers, and now it's taking up backyard space they need. Some folks have a junk boat sitting on blocks with a dead motor, and the repair quote came back at half the hull's value. One way or another, you're looking at something that needs to go.
Hansons Boat Removal handles the full tow from start to finish in Martha Lake. We load it, haul it, and manage all the paperwork. Jobs in Larch Way often stack with a Martha Lake call, so we move through both towns efficiently. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the Washington page.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in Martha Lake
We handle the full removal of your vessel from Martha Lake, whether it's sitting on a dead trailer in your driveway, parked at a storage lot, or taking up a marina slip. Jobs start around $250. Our crew brings a heavy-duty trailer, tie-down straps, and the equipment needed to load safely without damaging your property or the surrounding area. Once we've got it loaded, we haul the boat out of Martha Lake to our yard or the processor, depending on what we find. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. We run the same route through Lake Stickney and Mill Creek, so if you're in those areas, the logistics stay straightforward. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

Common questions about Martha Lake boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Martha Lake?
Cost in Martha Lake 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 Martha Lake?
Free removal in Martha Lake depends on what the boat still has going for it. Salvage value covers some jobs entirely. We look at photos, tell you straight which case is yours, then schedule.
Can you remove a boat without a title in Martha Lake?
Yes. Washington titles and registers boats. And missing paperwork is one of the most common things we see in Martha Lake. What we need from you is on the Washington page, in the legal section.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Martha Lake?
Most Martha Lake 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?
No. Out-of-state owners are half this business. The crew documents the pickup with photos, you approve, and the paperwork closes out remotely.
Can you take the trailer too?
Yes. The trailer usually goes with the boat, and its condition does not matter. If it rolls, we tow it. If it does not, it rides on the truck.
What kinds of boats do you take in Martha Lake?
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.
