Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal
Unwanted boats in Humboldt near Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site tend to be more complicated to remove than expected. Specialized cranes or barges may be required. Our team takes down the mast, removes the boat’s equipment and electronics, and cuts off the flybridge if needed. Since most landfills can’t take larger boats as they are, they need to be crushed or dismantled first. Don’t worry - our team takes care of that for you, making the whole process simple and stress-free. Relax - we’ve got it handled.
Common Boat Removal Scenarios
Boats left idle on Lake Mattoon for seasons at a time are among the most common removal calls crews handle here. Waterlogged hulls along the Embarras River also generate steady work, especially after high water years. Owners sometimes discover a vessel is beyond repair only after an attempted launch at the Fox Ridge State Park boat launch reveals serious structural failure.
Storage yards near the Coles County Fairgrounds area frequently hold neglected trailers and rotting hulls that owners finally decide to clear. Pontoons pulled from Lake Charleston after years of disuse often need full dismantling before legal disposal can proceed. Crews reach these sites via Route 130, which connects many of the rural properties where forgotten boats have been sitting untouched for years.
