Do you use a towing service? If so, which one?

I know Vessel Assist is pretty cheap and I'm considering getting a membership. Since I'm boat bitch on friends boats all the time, I figure I should come with more than food, alcohol and grass...err...gas.

My membership through BoatUS costs around $60 a year and covers me for both my boats.

That's a good point. Does it cover the person or the boat?

I'm not sure how it works but when I just renewed mine it asked for the boat info.

Most of the towing memberships "go with the boat" not with the person, you have to register your boat, if not, someone could get one membership and just sit around and give people tows, at least that's the way it is down here, BoatsUS and SeaTow are sister companies, we have SeaTow down here, for 100% free towing anywhere it's $170 bucks a year, believe me it's well worth it.

Just buy some alcohol and go topless and he'll be happy.

On Saturday I was on the Pirates Cove boat and the captain said he once had a group of girls hop on and ask him to make them pasties with duct tape ;) I guess they didn't want to be on the boat tape less :D

Vessel Assist is included in my Progressive Boat Insurance Policy. When I go to the river to freeload (with out boat) I usually slip my buddy a $$$ Benjamin $$$ and that always puts a :yes: on their face. Before I bought my 1st boat (creative thinking) I would walk down a ski beach (back in the 70's) with ski in hand and offer a $20. for gas for a ski ride. I skied more than most people without even owning a boat...

I have towing coverage through AAA. I have to pay for it on the spot, but they'll reimburse me the full amount. I get two tows a year. AAA is pretty good company.

Most of the boats you ride on have 2 engines I think? The second one is the "get back" motor. lol
