Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Handling neglected boats in Bishop, including haul-outs near the Watson Park boat launch, requires skilled crews to ensure safe disposal. Burned-out hulls may collapse if moved improperly. Removal experts know how to dismantle and transport fire-damaged vessels safely. In many cases, towing logistics, disposal regulations, and local ordinances cause delays in removing boats.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Old boat disposal in Bishop often proves frustrating. There is usually limited access to docks or marinas for removal equipment. Our AAA Rousse marine team handles mast removal, gear and electronics stripping, and flybridge cutting when required. Most landfills won’t accept larger vessels in one piece, which means they need to be crushed or demolished first. Our crews handle the entire process safely and efficiently, so you don’t have to worry about the details. Sit back, AAA Rousse has it covered.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Around Lake Sara and Lake Sara Marina, boats that have sat unused for years often need removal when owners can no longer maintain them. Waterlogged hulls, sunken vessels near the docks, and deteriorated pontoons pulled from the Kaskaskia River are among the most common jobs our crews handle in this area throughout the season.

Boats trailered and abandoned near the Watson Park boat launch also make up a steady share of removals in Bishop. Storm damage along Lake Mattoon brings in calls for partially sunk or fire damaged vessels that need immediate recovery. Access via Route 33 can complicate heavy equipment staging, but our crews are experienced with the local road layouts and tight turnarounds.

Prompt, came out same day within a few hours of calling them. They were very careful while moving the junk. Friendly. Takes all forms of payment. I plan on calling them again. Mark and Christina came the next trip to remove more junk. They were very professional, quick, worked hard, and even swept the mess left from the junk on the garage floor.

This company is excellent! Removing this old 18 ft motor home was not an easy task. It had been sitting in the same spot for 26 years so needless to say it was literally falling apart and imbedded in the ground. The 2 men who removed it were so patient and professional taking care not to tear up the yard while doing so, not to mention it was one of our hottest days. They deserve 10 stars or more in my book!

The team did a wonderful job clearing out 2 of our office suites. Both suites contained about 40+ cubicles, 11 executives offices, at 3 conference rooms. It took about a week to get everything out of there but they were fair and always updated me throughout the day. They also sent pictures to make sure I knew they were filling the trailer up (they charge by the load).
