I'd also suggest a modest tool kit to keep on board with both standard and metric sizes. I just ran into a problem over the 4th with my Amercian made?? Outboard requiring BOTH metric and standard tools.

Another thing that would be helpful is to contact the Lakes Region Sail and Power Squadron and ask for a vessel safety check. They're free and the person going over the equipment on your boat can give you lots of information.

Good luck and have fun....

As for which tow service is better? I won't say that I've never had to use one of them because if I did I'd jinx myself, but BoatUS is discounted if you join their organization and I think SeaTow has a similar program.
