Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

In Licking, the process of boat removal can turn out to be unexpectedly difficult. Many marinas or property owners want old boats removed quickly, but the process often takes longer than expected due to weather, time sensitivity, towing restrictions, and more — especially for vessels recovered from the Embarras River. Our crews remove masts, strip the boat of its gear and electronics, and cut off the flybridge if necessary. Larger vessels can’t go to a landfill unless we crush or demolish them. Let the AAA Rousse do all the work for you.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal around Licking most often starts on the Embarras River, where owners find waterlogged hulls wedged against banks after seasonal flooding. The Lincoln Trail State Fish and Wildlife Area boat launch also sees frequent requests, as trailered vessels are abandoned at the ramp after engines fail or registrations lapse, leaving launch operators scrambling for a licensed removal crew.

Storage situations are equally common in Crawford County, with neglected pontoons and johnboats sitting for years on rural lots near Lincoln Trail Lakes. Overgrown trailers and rotted decks make self removal dangerous, so owners turn to professionals who can dismantle and haul in a single trip. Waterway access and unpaved lane conditions near these lakes make specialized equipment essential for a clean, safe extraction.

Bobby and his coworker came out. They were friendly and professional. They quoted me a good price for a hot tub removal and scattered debris. Worked very quickly. Would definitely use them again.

Had a great experience with aaa rousse, spoke with Miles, very prompt, transparent and accurate. Informed me on everything he was looking at, even told me how to dispose of paint without them touching it to save me money. Great people all around.

I'm able to use them for my company to pick up in places other providers do not. They quickly work to get the items picked up and taken away.
