Wow, that sucks. Unfortunately they're only as good as the franchise owner/operator.
Was just an article about one down here responding to a call out in the Atlantic. The operator was so drunk that he towed the disabled boat in circles until they ran out of gas!
Operators of boat under tow go it running and towed the out of gas, drunken captain to shore!
Hope everyone is alright.
Did you give them accurate location?

With you what are the chances of breaking both engines ? With a single it's an issue .

would of been nice if a fisherman or duck hunters had come by to pull him back but can't put a price on making it back safe ... thats going to be 1 expensive drive rebuild is your Skater getting close to test & tune stage ?


and i thought our 13.7 mile tow was expensive
