Seatow…

The fuel burned in delivery should be accounted for exactly as the fuel burned in a tow. He had to get to our friend Charlie either way, and he had to return to the dock - either way. You might say, well he had to get the fuel onto the boat, but these guys always carry fuel around.

I get it, $8 on the water delivered ain't too bad, but in light of the membership dues I feel like it is a little high. JMO

All that being said, I'll keep paying my SeaTow dues!

I have heard Sea Tow and TowBoatUs have two very different business models

SeaTow make money off the vast majority of members that never use them. When they are called out, they will do whatever they can to upsell you or call it a hard grounding, etc. they can backcharge more to the organization for more than just a tow

TowBoatUs is paid very little to be an affiliate, but is able to backcharge a higher price per service call

At least that was the way it was explained to me.

Didn t we have a member who was a seatow captain on here for a while

Was it capt pete or something like that

Personally , I don't care what they charge as long as it don't come back to me. Hook me up and tow me back to port , they money they charge is not my buisness. Just get me back safe. So far I have been very lucky not having to use them but when I do call all I want is for them to show up and get me back. , I did my part paying dues the rest is irrelivant to me. I may sound cruel but that's that.
