Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

In Payson, the process of boat removal can turn out to be unexpectedly difficult. Many marinas or property owners near Meyer Landing want old boats removed quickly, but the process often takes longer than expected due to weather, time sensitivity, towing restrictions, and more. 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

Most boat removals near Payson involve vessels kept on private land or trailered to the Illinois River corridor. Owners hauling out after a season on the river often coordinate pickups along the La Grange Lock and Dam area, where aging boats are pulled from ramps or gravel banks. Crews load onto flatbed trailers and transport over US Route 36 to storage or disposal yards.

Boats stored on rural Adams County properties sometimes sit for years before owners arrange removal. Vessels connected to the bottoms along the river near the Barry Access Area are another common scenario, where flood damage or mechanical failure leaves hulls abandoned on muddy banks. Our team coordinates the full haul from launch to licensed disposal, handling everything from aluminum fishing boats to larger fiberglass cruisers.

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!
