Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Getting rid of an unwanted boat in Crab Orchard is a process that needs to be done by a professional crew. Storm-damaged boats are often unstable, partially submerged, or leaking fuel, including hulls recovered near Lake of Egypt Marina. 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 Crab Orchard off Crab Orchard Lake isn't as simple as it sounds. 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

Crab Orchard Lake draws boaters to its wide open water all season, and vessels left at the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge boat ramp or moored on Little Grassy Lake often age out or sustain storm damage faster than owners expect. Abandoned hulls, flooded fiberglass boats, and waterlogged pontoons make up the most common removal calls we receive in this area.

Owners who store boats on trailers near Devil's Kitchen Lake frequently discover rot, cracked hulls, or failed stringers when they return in spring, making haul away the only practical option. Others find their slips at Lake of Egypt Marina or their roadside storage along Route 148 tied up by vessels too far gone to repair, and a professional removal crew is the fastest path to clearing that space.

Prompt, came out same day within a few hours of calling them. They were very careful while moving the junk. Friendly. Takes all forms of payment. I plan on calling them again. Mark and Christina came the next trip to remove more junk. They were very professional, quick, worked hard, and even swept the mess left from the junk on the garage floor.

This company is excellent! Removing this old 18 ft motor home was not an easy task. It had been sitting in the same spot for 26 years so needless to say it was literally falling apart and imbedded in the ground. The 2 men who removed it were so patient and professional taking care not to tear up the yard while doing so, not to mention it was one of our hottest days. They deserve 10 stars or more in my book!

The team did a wonderful job clearing out 2 of our office suites. Both suites contained about 40+ cubicles, 11 executives offices, at 3 conference rooms. It took about a week to get everything out of there but they were fair and always updated me throughout the day. They also sent pictures to make sure I knew they were filling the trailer up (they charge by the load).
