Im glad you made it back to the dock. Just was wondering, how costly is
it to have a tow done? I know it depends on the range but was wondering
how they charge. Also, whats the largest size boat you can power with an
outboard or set of outboards ?
Thanks
Ed

$200 on up, depending on how far out you are. $1,000 tow bills are not
unheard of.

Get some tow insurance. It is fairly cheap.

BTW: Before you sign up for a towing service contract, make sure it
operates close to your boating area.

SeaTow and BoatUS are the 2 largest.
