Clearly, we're doing it wrong. We're shelling out hard earned money for
a service that we never use. We both should start boating more dangerously!

Never quite thought of it that way before.

I have Vessel Assist, is the towing service in the San Francisco area. Only
tow I need was on the Sacramento river, and a fellow boater towed me in.
Broke a U-joint while running about 35 up the river. The coupling banging
around dinged up the inout shaft, making for major headache during repairs.
(Kodiak jet drive). But at $150 / hour for a tow, Is cheap to pay the $80 a
year.

In that case, the tow boat company should pay you... or the fellow who
did tow you in...

Have to be a licensed tower. Actually remembered another tow. Lake, and
ran out of gas about 100 yards from the ramp. Had been waiting about a 1/2
hour for my turn to pull out. The guy towed me into and tryed to tow me
over the dock. I would have had less agravation getting the paddle out.
