The difference of our opinion's probly arise because we are thinking
on different levels.

I'm thinking on the level of a small yacht owner, like almost everyone

With the recent "Salvaging or Scavenging" on the British shore I
assumed we were discussing salvage in general, and specifically the
beached booty. Only jon brought up small craft towing, guess because he
has that endorsement on his ticket. When he told me he had a towing
endorsement I thought he had a freight and towing
endorsement...bwahahahahahahahaaa.

I think anyone who pulls salvage on another mariner on his personal
yacht in peril is a scumball, unless thats his profession or the boat
was abandoned and it's not needed anyway.

I would not expect a Lloyds LOS salvage agreement to be carried by
BoatsUS, TowboatUS, ect.ect..

But offshore... commerical vessels..that make up 99 percent of all
salvage needed would be very familar with the Lloyd's contract, and
most likely insured by Lloyds of London.

Jon's right, I did not look at the BoatUS contract because I do not
respect BoatUS or towboatsUS. I would never consider either one of
thier opinions worthy of consideration. They both have good business
plans to make money but I have seen their seamanship knowledge and the
quality of thee crews that man the boats to be a FN joke at best.
