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.
