Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal
The reality is that boat removal near Lime Creek is often much tougher than it seems for Thornton area residents. Some older vessels often contain asbestos insulation. Our Teams take off the masts, clear out the boat’s gear and electronics and cut off the flybridge if needed. Larger boats usually need to be crushed or demolished before a landfill will take them - and our team takes care of that process. You just sit back - AAA Rousse takes care of the rest.
Common Boat Removal Scenarios
Boat removal around Thornton most often begins at the public ramp on Lime Creek, where owners leave vessels that have become too worn to trailer out safely. Abandoned fishing boats and aging aluminum hulls pulled from the Winnebago River are common calls, especially after spring flooding shifts hulls onto private shoreline or lodges them against low crossings near the old rail corridor.
Storage related removals are also frequent, with pontoons and jon boats left behind in lots off US-65 after owners relocate or pass on. Deteriorated fiberglass runabouts stored near the Thorpe Park area are another steady source of calls, and Cerro Gordo County residents routinely ask us to haul sunken or half submerged hulls recovered from private ponds dotting the surrounding farmland.
