If you are a member of BOAT/US, membership includes on the water
towing
for a limited distance, or at least used to...The full towing package,
about $100 a year, is more than worth it the first time your engine
craps out and you can't get it started. A tow of a modest distance
from
where you are to where your ramp/marina is can easily add up to $400
or
more...


boat/us is a pretty good deal. not sure how it would work with my
insurance company...they say if i need a tow, just call their service
line and they'll arrange it...but i don't know what that means. most
insurance company folks don't seem to know alot about boats.

"A minority of the BoatUS Board is employed by Boat America
Corporation. Boat America Corporation has a contract with BoatUS to
provide services to BoatUS and it’s Members, including insurance,
towing and boat financing. Boat America Corporation is part of the
Berkshire Hathaway family of companies, chaired by Warren Buffet."


Planning of surrendering some of your pittance wages to the coffers of
the idle rich?-


what can i say..they've got me.

Well? It is supposed to be a celebration of anarchy. But the ultimate
anarchist, burn the man before it time, and was arrested and penalized. Sad
when even anarchist's do not support anarchy.
