Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Disposing of a damaged or abandoned vessel along Lick Creek in French Lick is a task best left to our experienced professionals. Boats too old or damaged for insurance coverage pose liability risks.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

French Lick residents near the Hoosier National Forest boat launch often discover that old boat disposal is anything but simple. Fiberglass disposal is challenging and limited in facilities. Our crews dismantle masts, clear the boat of gear and electronics, and remove the flybridge if required. Most large boats need to be crushed or dismantled before a landfill will accept them. We’ve got it covered - let AAA Rousse take care of everything for you.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal near French Lick most often involves vessels that have been stored too long at Patoka Lake Marina or trailered to the Celina Lake boat ramp and left to deteriorate. Owners dealing with sunken or storm damaged hulls along Patoka Lake frequently call us after salvage attempts fail, and we step in to handle full extraction, transport, and compliant disposal without delay.

Abandoned pontoons and aging fiberglass motorboats pulled from Lick Creek or left on rural properties in Orange County make up another large share of our calls. Hoosier National Forest recreation areas see seasonal launches that sometimes end with owners simply walking away from a vessel, leaving us to coordinate permitted removal, full dismantling, and environmentally sound disposal of every component.

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).
