In 2006, a civil suit was filed against Schwarz in an attempt to collect $24,000 in mooring fees owed to Prokuski.
 The case was supposed to have been settled, with Schwarz retaining ownership of Goldenrod while he found new mooring for the boat.
 Schwarz did not move the boat, and she was sold at a sheriff's auction in October 2007.
 Since there were no other bids on her, Prokuski bought her for $5,000.

As of 15 January 2008, the showboat's future was still uncertain.
 She remains moored in Calhoun County and mired in court as questions remain about the legality of the sale.
The judge, Richard Greenleaf, said the proper paperwork had not been filed for the auction, so he has not signed off on the sale.

The couple want to sell Goldenrod but have to wait until the title clears.
Though it has been reported they will sell the historic boat for scrap, Newingham has denied this.

Since 2010, Goldenrod has been under the care of Steve Debellis, Jacob Medford and the Historic Riverboat Preservation Association.

In 2015 the hull buckled when the vessel ended up on uneven land after river levels dropped suddenly while it was being moved to the riverbank.
With insufficient funds to save the ship, the Historic Riverboat Preservation Association decided to save the pilothouse and as much of the interior furnishings as possible for incorporation into museum displays.
Work on removing interior furnishings proceeded on Saturdays and Sundays from that point until 31 March 2016.
On 1 April 2016, the vessel was given to the owners of the dock where she was moored.
While the vessel's fate rests with dock owners, Jacob Medford believes the vessel will end up as scrap.
