Seatow vs. BoatUS

[Mr. Sandman]

I have boat us but never used any tow service. I would call them for a tow but that is it and I think those towing prices are fair and reasonable but frankly they are only good for towing.. they are really in it for the salvage $. They are all modern day pirates of the sea basically looking to get a large % of the value of your boat should you be hung on a reef. They have you by the short hairs then and they know the ins co will pay 40% now or 100% later. They basically are openly ripping off insurance co's or you if you are uninsured. And guess who is paying the insurance co's....you got it!!!


Also, if you call them more then a couple times...you will be dropped. unlimited is not really what it is cracked up to be.

If you call them more than a couple times, you're doing something wrong.

Used boat U S twice in 2 years!! No problems with a quick response!!!!!

But After talking to the fella, if you broke down first, they get to you first and if you are #5 and they are in the process of towing someone else you will wait!!! Even tho they tell you that they have a couple of boats usually only one is on duty and if they get swamped with calls they will bring in backup!!!

Both times that I was towed I was first on the list and one other baot called for assistance and the tow capt. told the fella he would have about a 2hr wait!!!!
