Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Disposing of an old boat in Stronghurst near Henderson Creek 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 calls in this area frequently involve vessels left along the Mississippi River shoreline or tied up at the Oquawka Harbor that owners can no longer maintain or register. Aging pontoon boats and deteriorating aluminum hulls are common, and many sit on trailers in rural yards across Henderson County until the owner is ready to let go.

Henderson Creek also sees its share of waterlogged and storm battered hulls that need extraction before they become environmental hazards. Boats stored on private farm properties near the Oquawka Boat Ramp are another frequent call, often requiring heavy equipment and route planning to haul out safely before transport to a proper disposal facility.

Stephanie was extremely flexible in scheduling our time slot. She was willing to schedule for the very next morning, if we wanted. We live on the 5th floor in a condominium complex, and Stephanie parked in a discrete place and quickly removed the everything without getting in the way of the other residents in the building. She was very sharp and didn't need to hear directions twice. We would call her again in a heartbeat!.
