Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Removing an old or damaged boat in Portage requires more than an unskilled workforce. It requires professionals. Boats taking up space in yards or parking lots, including those in Quincy Hill, are difficult to move without damage. Crews use proper trailers and equipment to remove them efficiently. Local restrictions, complicated towing, and strict disposal procedures can hold up the process.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

In Portage, boat removal for older vessels usually isn’t quick or easy. Boats left in backyards near the Hancock-Houghton Waterfront can be hard to extract without damaging property. The AAA Rousse crew will take down the mast, clear off the gear and electronics, and cut off the flybridge if we have to, to get the job done. Bigger boats usually need a little extra work, like crushing or demolition, before a landfill will accept them. We handle all of that on your behalf, so you can relax knowing everything’s being done the right way. We do the hard work and you enjoy the ease.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal in this part of Michigan often begins at the water. Vessels left to deteriorate along the Keweenaw Waterway or sitting neglected at McLain State Park boat launch are among the most common calls we receive. Owners relocating or settling estates frequently need a full haul from the water, including lift removal and hull transport across icy or soft shoreline terrain.

Landlocked removals are just as frequent, particularly in areas near Ripley and along the canal corridor where older boats have been stored in backyards or on trailers for years. Hungarian Falls Road and the surrounding rural parcels present tight access challenges that require specialized equipment. Whether a vessel is beached, stored, or partially submerged, our crew handles every stage of the job.

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!
