Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Getting rid of an unwanted boat in Dunham is a process that needs to be done by a professional crew. Storm-damaged boats are often unstable, partially submerged, or leaking fuel near Bangs Lake. Only trained professionals with the right equipment can safely haul and dispose of them without causing more property or environmental damage. Local laws, transport logistics, and disposal steps often add time to the job.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Disposing of an old boat in Dunham isn't as simple as it sounds, especially for vessels recovered from Wonder Lake. Permits may be required for towing or dismantling certain boats. AAA Rousse’s crew handles all the dismantling: removing masts, stripping electronics and gear, and cutting the flybridge if required. Large boats often need to be destroyed before a landfill will take them. The AAA Rousse team will take care of everything for you.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boats left in and around Pistakee Lake often sit neglected for seasons before owners seek removal. Waterlogged hulls pulled from Nippersink Creek require rigging before they can be loaded. The Glacial Park Boat Launch area sees abandoned vessels that block public access, making coordinated haul outs a common call for our crews in this region.

Storm damage is another frequent driver of removal calls, especially after harsh winters batter vessels stored on Wonder Lake and Griswold Lake shorelines. Owners on Nippersink Lake deal with aging pontoons and fiberglass hulls that have outlived their use. In each case our team arrives with the right equipment to safely extract, transport, and properly dispose of the vessel.

The best company I've ever used when dealing with our building clean up. We are in the process of selling and the buyers are extremely unreasonable but after hearing about AAA and dealing with Jennine and her assurance that our property would be professionally cleaned and all cleared (equipment, debris, trash etc..) not only did she deliver on that promise but knocked it out of the ballpark!! Thank you so much AAA and Jennine, we could have NEVER done it without you.

I can’t say enough about how helpful Janine and her crew from AAARousse were in disposing of a catamaran on our property. When they realized it wasn’t on a trailer, they cut it up manually. And it was all done in one day. I called the office this morning and by afternoon it was gone. Thanks so much!

I would definitely recommend AAA Rousse Junk Removal. Stephanie was so helpful in finding the right crew who would come out to our remote location to remove furniture and appliances from our camp. She kept in contact and organized everything from beginning to end. Thanks to Colby and crew for driving the almost 2 hrs and the great job in clearing out all the stuff!
