Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Proper boat removal in Oreana can only be done safely with the right marine team and equipment, whether the vessel is beached or dock-side near Overlook Adventure Park. Inherited boats often come without titles or paperwork. Our boat removers understand how to legally and properly dispose of vessels in these situations. The combination of towing, disposal, and local regulatory issues can cause delays.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Disposing of an aging boat in Oreana often becomes challenging, especially for hulls pulled from Lake Decatur Marina. Lead paint and other toxic materials require special handling. Our crew dismantles the mast, removes all equipment and electronics from the vessel, and, if necessary, detaches the fly bridge. Landfills generally can’t take larger vessels unless they’re first crushed or demolished. Sit back and let the AAA Rousse team handle it all.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boats left to deteriorate along Friends Creek or moored without active use on Lake Decatur are among the most common removal calls we receive in this area. Owners often discover a vessel is no longer seaworthy after a season of neglect, and the Nelson Park boat launch area sees its share of crafts that simply cannot make it back out of the water without professional help.

Inherited vessels tied along the Sangamon River and abandoned hulls left at Lake Decatur Marina represent another frequent scenario, often complicated by missing titles and unpaid storage fees. Recoveries near Spitler Woods State Natural Area also come up when storms push smaller craft onto shallow banks, leaving owners with no practical way to retrieve them without a dedicated marine removal crew.

I was cleaning out a family member’s house that bordered on being a hoarder. I called AAA Rousse and they were able to promptly meet my junk hauling needs on two separate occasions. The men providing the service were friendly and professional. They definitely made the process easy.

The family owned company was wonderful! They came in and undertook a very difficult project without complaining and they did it at the price that they quoted to us originally. They were friendly patient hard-working and did a great job! We would not hesitate to call them again and we would recommend them to anyone we know.

We had a really great experience with the company with our hot tub removal. Everyone that we worked with was super accomodating, friendly & got the job done quickly and professionally. They also communicate really well. Would highly recommend for any junk or hot tub removal.

Rob's son Ron did a wonderful job removing a large sofa, loveseat and reclining chair. He arrived as scheduled, was courteous, funny and engaging. I would recommend AAA Rouse Junk Removal without hesitation.

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!
