Tim,

I agree with you, but the fact that a salvage company was involved (in
a minor way) with the removal of a boat from a marina fire provide them
with a shred of possibility that they can recover in a salvage claim.

My guess is the tow company is hoping to settle out of court, and I
would also guess the insurance company will settle out of court.

I don't believe their is a snow ball's chance in hell, that the
insurance company, or boat owner will recover anything in actual
damages or punitive damages from the tow company.
