Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal
Disposing of an aging boat in Rock City often becomes challenging. 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
Owners at Lake Summerset regularly call for removal of aging pontoons and runabouts that have sat unused in Lake Summerset Marina slips for seasons. Deteriorating hulls tied along the Pecatonica River also draw removal requests, especially after spring floods leave vessels stranded in shallow water or tangled in debris along the banks.
Storm damage along the Pecatonica River corridor sends crews out to recover capsized fishing boats and partially submerged craft each year. Inland, owners on Lake Summerset and Lake Carroll frequently need junk boats hauled from private lifts and storage lots after estates change hands, leaving behind vessels with no title and no clear plan for disposal.
