The big difference between SeaTow and Boat US is; If you are at your dock, boat does not start, and need a tow to a marina mechanic, Boat US does not cover you, because you are already safely at you dock; regardless of whether your boat will start or not. SeaTow will tow you where you most need to be; I believe unlimited for something like a $120 or $130. bucks for the year, regardless of where your boat is located ( in the Country).
I have been a Boat US member for some 16 years, but signed up with SeaTow during the Winni fishing Derby ( I believe it was $116., but need to check my visa statement).
This guy Dan was giving free towing during the Derby. Promotion or not it got my attention, and I looked into it ( checked the fine print in my Boat US insurance package)
I have never needed assistance on the Lake, but it is nice to know if my alternator goes, and I do not realize my batteries are "dead" until the next morning, I can get towed to a mechanic.
my two cents,
michael
