Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal
Stockton residents are discovering that an old, dilapidated boat past its prime isn’t easy to get off their hands. The large size and heavy weight of many boats are definitely a challenge while transporting along Elizabeth-Scales Mound Road. Our crews remove masts, strip the boat of its gear and electronics, and cut off the flybridge if necessary. Because landfills don’t accept most large vessels in one piece, we manage the crushing or demolition so you don’t have to worry about it. We handle it all - you just relax.
Common Boat Removal Scenarios
Boats left too long on the Apple River or pulled onto private property after seasons at Lake Carroll are among the most common removal calls we handle in this area. Aging pontoons and waterlogged hulls recovered from the Galena River often require pumping and crane support before transport can even begin. These jobs demand proper gear and a crew that knows regional waterways.
Storage situations are just as frequent, with trailers rusting out along Schapville Road and boats sitting on blocks long after owners have moved on. Vessels retrieved from Apple Canyon Lake sometimes need partial dismantling before they can be safely trailered over the rolling terrain of Jo Daviess County. Along the Plum River corridor, silt and shallow banks add extra complexity to every extraction job.
