I went with BoatUs.
$70 is a great deal.
Thanks again for all the responses.

Also, contact your insurance company for your boat, most insurance for boats covers towing to the same extent as Boat US or other similar companies. We had Boat US and recently canceled it as it was basically paying twice for the same coverage / peace of mind...

I believe this is still true, SEATOW will tow from your home dock as part of the package, BOATUS charges a fee. If your service marina is across the Lake, could run you some bucks. Yes SEATOW costs more but I would want "total" coverage.

When I was enrolled with Seatow, they would NOT tow you from your home dock.

Yeah, but then you need to pay for the tow and then get reimbursed. Also, you gotta find a place to call. There's something about having an 800 number to call and be done with it.

As for towing from one's home dock, it has been mentioned before to just push off a few feet and anchor out.
