Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal
Unwanted boats in Patoka tend to be more complicated to remove than expected, especially recoveries from the Patoka Lake boat launch. 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
Boat removal around Patoka most often starts at Patoka Lake, where aging pontoons and motorboats are abandoned at the Newton Beach boat ramp or left tied to deteriorating docks after a season of neglect. Storm damage and mechanical failure push many owners to call for emergency removal before a vessel sinks or blocks a launch lane entirely.
Along the Patoka River and its connected backwaters, crews regularly recover sunken jon boats and flat bottoms that have been swamped by seasonal flooding. Storage lots near the Wayne Fitzgerrell State Recreation Area also generate steady removal calls, as owners surrender registrations and leave hulls that accumulate fines until a professional team hauls them away.
