Had my 1st experience with a towing company. I purchased a $99.00 package which includes towing you from 25 miles north-south and 25miles straight out from your harbor.
Well, while we were having our fishing tournament my motor shut down and wouldn't start. Had to call Boat U S They were there in 40 minutes and had us under tow. If I didn't have had the $99.00 policy it would have cost $260.00 for the tow. It's like having triple A+ I'm already ahead.
The only thing that I would change is that in my area of Gloucester Mass, TOW BOAT U S is in Gloucester and the other operates out of Beverly The one in Beverly is out of V H F distance luckily I had could reach them on my cell phone.

The lesson here is go with a tow boat company in your locale area. I thought that both companies were both the same.
