nope unfortunatly had to be towed once in the fountain and several times up in OPA in a Pantera(03), handed them the card and got the tows all for 130.00 a year. I dont leave home without it, like Frank said, and havent had my boat under so I will give them a call and verify what would happen in that scenario
Some of us have had experiences with towing that mirror JBS's ....

my tows have been when my boat was upright and/or not under water(all drive situations). Also we have to keep in mind that each seatow and towboat us are franchises and yes they have a parent company maybe different rules and regs in each one. All Comfort Inns are franchises and their rates and rules vary from location to location.
I will look thru my towboat US paperwork later on and see if there is any fine print concerning racing and I will call corporate tomorrow to get a clarification or answers if I cant find anything concerning racing

exactly. once they have to do more than throw you a line or if your boat is in danger, it is no longer a tow.

I'm still gonna follow up and inquire, now I'm curious as to the technical rules of a race boat vs pleasure boat in the case of a flip or sink

to all odf the rest of the non believers..................
Tows are covered under your membership, salvage is NOT, same scenario as if I were out pleasure boating in the bay on my Pantera on any given sunday, and my boat came apart, I am at their mercy under a salvage situation. I am in no way sticking up for them, but when in a salvage situation, whether racing or pleasure, you are at their mercy, you can deny them salvage rights, but then it is up to you to figure it out, and what if nobody helps, or if you really sink, and you have the EPA on your azz?? How many gallons of Jet-A were on board??? In the other situation, I believe the occupants were taken away for medical reasons(flip), and they were not around to deny salvage. This all sucks, but it is a part of boating, racing or not, dont make me dig up the threads.
Boat US towing is priceless, any salvage situation sucks, Just ask anyone who has been thru it.
