Common Boat Removal Scenarios
Boat removal needs around Colchester most often involve vessels left sitting on trailers or in back lots long after their owners stopped using them. Lake Argyle draws recreational boaters every season, and when those boats reach the end of their life, crews must navigate the ramps and wooded access roads inside Argyle Lake State Park to retrieve them safely. Deteriorating hulls and expired registrations are the most common triggers.
Sunken or waterlogged boats recovered from the coves of Lake Argyle present their own challenges, requiring pumping and rigging before any haul can begin. Tight turns along Illinois Route 136 add extra planning when moving oversized loads out of the area. Families clearing estates near Colchester Community Park also call regularly, needing a documented, insured removal so title and liability are fully resolved before the property changes hands.
