Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal
Unwanted boats in Ruma pulled from Randolph County Lake tend to be more complicated to remove than expected. 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
Boats left idle on the Kaskaskia River are among the most common removal calls in this area. Owners near Fort Kaskaskia State Historic Site often discover waterlogged hulls that have drifted or sunk close to shore. Deteriorating pontoons and motorboats pulled from Baldwin Lake also make up a steady share of calls, especially after harsh winters leave hulls cracked and engines seized.
Vessels stored at private properties near Randolph County Lake frequently fall into disrepair, leaving owners facing overgrown trailers and rotted decks they cannot move alone. Prairie Du Long Creek sees similar situations where small fishing boats become stranded in shallow water. Kaskaskia Island access makes some recoveries logistically complex, requiring specialized equipment and experienced crews to complete a safe and lawful removal.
