Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Getting rid of an unwanted boat in Phelps is a process that needs to be done by a professional crew. Storm-damaged boats are often unstable, partially submerged, or leaking fuel on the Levisa Fork. Only trained professionals with the right equipment can safely haul and dispose of them without causing more property or environmental damage. Local laws, transport logistics, and disposal steps often add time to the job.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Disposing of an old boat in Phelps near Fishtrap Lake isn't as simple as it sounds. Permits may be required for towing or dismantling certain boats. AAA Rousse’s crew handles all the dismantling: removing masts, stripping electronics and gear, and cutting the flybridge if required. Large boats often need to be destroyed before a landfill will take them. The AAA Rousse team will take care of everything for you.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal needs in Phelps often arise after seasonal flooding along Shelby Creek and Grapevine Creek, where rising waters can push vessels off trailers or moorings and deposit them on banks or shallow shoals. Owners may also abandon aging aluminum johnboats when maintenance costs exceed the craft's value, leaving waterway managers to coordinate licensed salvage teams for safe extraction and disposal.

Downstream along Johns Creek and Marrowbone Creek, storm debris can pin small fishing boats against natural logjams, making standard trailer retrieval impossible without specialized lift equipment. In Pike County, these recoveries often require coordination between property owners, state environmental officers, and certified boat removal contractors to ensure waterways stay clear and local ecosystems remain protected year round.

The best company I've ever used when dealing with our building clean up. We are in the process of selling and the buyers are extremely unreasonable but after hearing about AAA and dealing with Jennine and her assurance that our property would be professionally cleaned and all cleared (equipment, debris, trash etc..) not only did she deliver on that promise but knocked it out of the ballpark!! Thank you so much AAA and Jennine, we could have NEVER done it without you.

I can’t say enough about how helpful Janine and her crew from AAARousse were in disposing of a catamaran on our property. When they realized it wasn’t on a trailer, they cut it up manually. And it was all done in one day. I called the office this morning and by afternoon it was gone. Thanks so much!

I would definitely recommend AAA Rousse Junk Removal. Stephanie was so helpful in finding the right crew who would come out to our remote location to remove furniture and appliances from our camp. She kept in contact and organized everything from beginning to end. Thanks to Colby and crew for driving the almost 2 hrs and the great job in clearing out all the stuff!
