Yeah we cover the canyons. Been there done that. It's a long ride when you're making 7kts. But you get really good gas milage when your being towed.

That is maybe a 8-10 hour ride at 7knots. Do you take another captain to share the ride and to keep your sanity? :money:

Back in the day we always went solo. But now my boss has two captains go. One time I went all the way out there based on a relayed message. I knew they were out there and needed a tow and what kind of boat it was but that was it. When I got out to them I said "So where we going? Manasquan,Shark River?" They said Fire Island. So I towed them back to Fire Island.That was a long day and a half.Not all towing companies will cover the canyons. Mostly because they don't have a boat capable. We have an ex CG 41' that we repowered with a pair of John Deers.

I'm deciding now on sticking with Sea Tow or going with the other......

the difference between Boat US and Sea Tow in short form is that Sea Tow gets all their membership money upfront. We at Boat US don't get paid till we tow you. Bottom line... We WANT to tow you they will do anything they can to not tow you. Obviously you should go with whoever locally is better capable of doing the job. For you bgreene I can assure you we are better.

You have personal mail on this site......

with BoatUS you get rewards $ from West Marine, some gas dock fuel discounts and you can get a really good price on boat insurance too

After having Towboat for a year or two for towing I switched insurance over to them too from state farm. The premium is slightly higher, but the coverage is better.

I do feel funny about the insurance man and the salvage guy being the same person though.
