Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover all of West Des Moines and the surrounding Dallas County area?

Yes — our boat removal and disposal services cover all neighborhoods across West Des Moines, IA and Dallas County, including properties near the Raccoon River and local storage facilities. To contact boat removers in your area, call and reach a live person today for service scheduling and availability.

My boat was damaged in a Raccoon River flood — can you still remove it?

Absolutely. Flood-damaged and water-logged vessels are among the most common jobs we handle in the West Des Moines area. The vessel undergoes full boat dismantling, recycling, and parts recovery regardless of flood or water damage. Metals and reusable materials are reclaimed, and all waste is disposed of responsibly through professional disposal channels.

My old boat has been sitting in outdoor storage all winter — does freeze damage affect the removal process?

Iowa winters can cause significant freeze damage to fiberglass hulls, engines, and plumbing systems. An old boat left outside through multiple freeze-thaw cycles may be structurally compromised, but that does not prevent removal. We assess the condition of the boat on-site and bring the appropriate equipment. Our team regularly handles freeze-damaged vessels pulled from outdoor storage yards throughout West Des Moines and Dallas County. We also assist with Iowa DNR title requirements for vessels in deteriorated condition.

Are there boat junkyards near West Des Moines, or where does my boat go after pickup?

After pickup, your vessel is transported to licensed boat junkyards or recycling facilities that accept marine vessels in Iowa. We do not simply dump unwanted boat material — usable parts and metals are recovered through proper boat salvage processes, and hazardous fluids and materials are handled according to Iowa environmental standards. You never need to research disposal facilities yourself; we manage the entire process of boat removal and disposal from start to finish.

How quickly can you complete a boat removal in West Des Moines after I call?
