your right skool. I think it costs an extra $15 or so. You get trailer assistance or trailer towing if your truck breaks down while in tow.

SeaTow now covers you whichever boat youre in even if youre a passenger.

Seatow will go get you out in the ocean where as Boatus will not (unless they have changed).

We have Seatow in this area and I've seen them in action. They are awesome. One guy in our area went to Oregon Inlet fishing, he was about 10 mi out to sea when he had a motor problem. He called the coast guard station (marine radio) and they called seatow for him. They came towed him back toward Elizabethcity (where he lived) and another Seatow guy picked him up and towed him (the 2nd seatow guy's area) to his dock.

He didn't get charged one dime because of his membership.

BoatUS will tow you in any boat as well

I have Seatow. I was told I am covered on other boats I'm on but ONLY if the owner of the boat IS NOT on board. In other words, if I'm on a buddy's boat with my buddy aboard and he doesn't have Seatow, I won't be covered.. I asked the question because I use my dad's Mckeecraft from time to time and wanted to know.

I've had both and haven't had to use either yet fortunately....As I was a Boat US member and a Sea Tow customer it was cheaper for me to switch to Boat US for towing as well and get it all for $150 instead of the Sea Tow $150 + the Boat US membership (although other than the magazine I dont know what I really used it for)

You will enjoy the piece of mind though.....the couple times I was out without tow insurance my heart would stop at any sound I thought was out of the ordinary....now I dont even give it a 2nd thought.

If you get the unlimited BoatUS membership you get unlimited coverage. In the area I have towed boats in from the Hudson Canyon (70+ miles out) and the customer didn't have to pay anything.

Certainly any boat that travels past the rocks needs it!
