Towing

Water Camper · 03-14-2018, 10:17 AM

I pay $77 annually for towing on the lake and limited coverage when on the trailer.

Hope this helps,
Bill

Bill, how did you get it for $77?

Water Camper · 03-14-2018, 10:45 AM

I apologize, $78.

Annual Dues - $24
Water Towing - $48
Voluntary Donation $6

Total - $78

Hope this helps,
Bill

No offense intended but $250 won't get you far. I believe it's $100 an hour !

Just Saying,
Bill

A tow from Robert's Cove to Downing's Landing a few years back was shown as $385. Seeing as how I had towing coverage, it was nothing out of my pocket.
What led me to buy coverage was a tow from next to the shoal area just east of Rum point to Alton town docks was also around the same amount and all out of our pocket.

You may come up a little short, as others suggest.

TowBoat US has been good for me. I have used it many times over the years on the Cape, at least 3 times from Nantucket to Dennis. I get the Gold Coverage so they pay for everything- no muss no fuss. My annual dues expire in January. I wait until May to upgrade the towing to Gold so it is pro-rated and less expensive.

Used it once on the lake. Ripped the outdrive off on a rock. (who knew the darn rocks could leap up and hit your outdrive?!) A very Good Samaritan quickly saw the incident and towed us to Trexler's. Without forward motion we would have sunk.

When BoatUS showed up he brought the passengers and I back to Paugus. Although he took a longer route back than I would have taken, it was still a good experience.

My vote is for BoatUS.

I ended up signing up for BoatUs and the tow service. The premium to add it to my Insurance turned out to be $8. I might be able to apply that to any balance if say I was towed from my Dock.

Does anyone use their Progressive insurance for towing or do those with progressive also join SeaTow or BoatUS? We've been shopping around and Progressive seems to be the best price if their $30 towing option is comparable to SeaTow or BoatUS. Otherwise SeaTow with Sea Insure is a better price if we would need SeaTow or BoatUS in addition to insurance.
