Boat removal in Harwood is a process that requires skill and the right equipment. Letting a boat sit at Lake of the Woods while paying unnecessary dock fees can become costly.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Removing an old boat in Harwood near Ford County Storage often turns out to be more complicated than expected. Boats may contain fuel, oil, and chemicals that must be drained. The AAA Rousse crew will take down the mast, clear off the gear and electronics, and cut off the flybridge if we have to, to get the job done. The majority of larger vessels are not permitted in landfills unless they undergo crushing or demolition. Trust the AAA Rousse professionals to take care of everything.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal around Harwood most often involves aging vessels left at Lake of the Woods or pulled from the banks of the Salt Fork River after storm damage. Owners upgrading their rigs at the Homer Lake boat launch also call us when a trade in falls through and a deteriorating hull needs to go. These situations come up year round and require specialized rigging.

Pontoon boats and aluminum fishing boats stored near Champaign County rural properties frequently sit idle for years before families finally decide on removal. We also handle salvage calls tied to capsized or sunken craft on the Middle Fork of the Vermilion River and recoveries from Kennekuk Cove County Park ramps. Our crews arrive with the right trailers and equipment to clear each site cleanly.

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).
