Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat
Getting rid of an unwanted boat in Herrick is a process that needs to be done by a professional crew. Storm-damaged boats are often unstable, partially submerged, or leaking fuel, including wrecks recovered at Wolf Creek State Park. 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 Herrick isn’t as simple as it sounds. Permits may be required for towing or dismantling certain boats hauled along Shelbyville Municipal Airport Road. 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
Boats stored near Lake Shelbyville often fall into disrepair over long winters, leaving owners with hulls too deteriorated to sell or donate. Ramps at Eagles Creek State Fish and Wildlife Area and Wolf Creek State Park see regular abandonment situations where vessels are left partially afloat or beached, requiring professional extraction teams with the right rigging and transport equipment to remove them safely.
Along the Kaskaskia River, flood seasons push derelict boats onto private land and public banks, creating urgent removal calls each spring. Owners docked at Lake Shelbyville Marina frequently contact us after storm damage leaves vessels unsalvageable, and those transporting along Route 51 sometimes need a pickup arranged mid haul when a trailer fails. Each scenario calls for a crew that can adapt quickly to conditions on the ground.
