Default Re: Good deal?

I think Sea Tow would gladly give you a tow without a membership but I'd hate to see the bill. They hit a guy (a valid seatow member) up for many thousands of dollars once who got stuck on a sandbar. It was a 20 something foot boat with twins. There was a big write-up in the NC Sportsman about it. They declared it a "salvage" even though there was very little if any damage to the boat. There is some type of paper they try to make you sign and if you sign it they can do that.....if I remember the article correctly. Very scary indeed since you feel like you are covered by having the membership. The best thing to do is read the small print and do your research.

But my point is I would be afraid it would cost well over $500 to get towed unless you found some friendly folks who didn't mind giving you a tow. Which might be hard 25 off. :-/
