Unfortunately I can speak with first hand knowledge after being towed in via my Sea Tow membership Friday AM.
Sea Tow came from Plymouth to get me in Barstable. THe Captain, Darryl, was extremely professional the whole time, during the intiitla discussion we ran through a diagnosis of what could be wrong with my motor and he checked in on me 2X on his way over.
Once under tow we had several communications, we got up to 20 MPH once out of Barnstable harbor.
His hourly rate is $175 an hour from the time he leaves his slip to the time he drops you off. Total charge would have been $788 - best $90 worth of insurance I ever spent.
In contrast, I understand the competition charges only while under tow and therefore will not work to get you back to your point of origin in a timely manner.
Overall a very positive part of an unpleasant situation.
My kids want me to put in the following Smilies:
