Hey Pete do you work for towboat us? I'm friends with a guy here in va beach that owns part of towboat us his name is Allen Owens.

Yeah I work for TowBoatUS in Manasquan NJ. I have been with them since 2000. I worked for Sea Tow from 1992-2000. At first I hated the Hondas but they have proved themselves over and over to be a reliable motor. There is a v20 running around here with a 130. It doesn't look too bad.
