Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal
Mattoon boat owners are discovering that boat removal and disposal takes more time and effort than they realized. Shallow waters or sandbars at Lake Mattoon in Mattoon can make boat transport very difficult. AAA Rousse’s crew handles all the dismantling: removing masts, stripping electronics and gear, and cutting the flybridge if required. Because landfills generally do not take large vessels as-is, extra steps like crushing or dismantling are required. We manage this process from start to finish, ensuring your boat is prepared and accepted without hassle. Stress-free boat removal? Leave it to us.
Common Boat Removal Scenarios
Boat removals in Mattoon most often begin when owners need to pull watercraft that have been sitting on trailers near the Embarras River corridor or stored in backyards along the south side of town. Whether a vessel has a cracked hull, a seized engine, or simply has not run in years, our crew loads it safely and hauls it away without the owner needing to arrange separate towing or permits.
Removals also come up after boating season ends and owners near Illinois Route 16 decide not to store a deteriorating craft another winter. Boats pulled from properties close to the Lincoln Avenue area are common calls, ranging from aluminum fishing boats to larger fiberglass vessels. Once loaded, we transport every boat to a licensed recycling or disposal facility, keeping Coles County properties clear and code compliant.
