Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Our Paw Paw boat removal crews know how to handle all types of vessels of every size. State or county orders for removal often have deadlines. Professional boat removal services can provide proof of compliance to avoid fines.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Getting rid of a boat in Paw Paw that's seen better days, including hulks recovered from Shabbona Lake, can be a real struggle. Unstable boat hulls create safety hazards during transport. Our AAA Rousse Team will take down the masts, remove all gear and electronics, and, when necessary, detach the flybridge. Bigger boats usually need a little extra work, like crushing or demolition, before a landfill will accept them. We handle that step carefully, making sure it’s done the right way for both you and the environment. Let AAA Rousse professionals handle it all.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal around Paw Paw most often starts at Shabbona Lake State Recreation Area, where aging or storm damaged vessels are pulled from the water or retrieved from shoreline storage. Owners who launched years ago on Shabbona Lake now call for haul outs after engines fail or hulls deteriorate beyond repair. The Lincoln Highway corridor also sees regular pickups from rural properties storing neglected watercraft.

Farther out, crews work along the Fox River where boats left on private land or docks have become compliance issues under DeKalb County codes. Shabbona Lake boat ramps are a common handoff point for vessels too damaged to trailer safely without professional equipment. Whether the job is a sunken hull or a dry stored runabout, removal teams navigate local roads and access points to complete every haul efficiently.

Prompt, came out same day within a few hours of calling them. They were very careful while moving the junk. Friendly. Takes all forms of payment. I plan on calling them again. Mark and Christina came the next trip to remove more junk. They were very professional, quick, worked hard, and even swept the mess left from the junk on the garage floor.

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!

The team did a wonderful job clearing out 2 of our office suites. Both suites contained about 40+ cubicles, 11 executives offices, at 3 conference rooms. It took about a week to get everything out of there but they were fair and always updated me throughout the day. They also sent pictures to make sure I knew they were filling the trailer up (they charge by the load).
