After this last weekend, we should look into getting a CPBA discount!

i havent had experience with either. not sure what your experience is but i saw about 5 sea tow guys on monday alone and 0 boat us guys. this was near the mouth btw. not sure if that was an indication of anything but seems like sea tow has a descent convoy in the river.

I actually looked into this once in the past and never got anywhere, however if we had a few guys ready to sign up at the same time we may be able to negotiate better.
My brother used Boat US this past weekend and the guy was great, took good care of his rig and treated the boat better than we would have ourselves.

Ask any boat racer or anyone from FL.

Boat-U.S. Responds (quickly) when you call them. Seatow is out there trolling for "victims." That's the difference.

VICTIMS IS RIGHT, if they Deem your boat is sinking and give you a pump. they will call it salvage and keep your boat until you pay a fee to them. they did it to racers on both coasts. charging one 10,000 and the other more. this was after everyone bought a membership in the morning.. so sea tow is SCUM.

This is why boating clubs are so important so we can mobilize against anyone doing this sort of thing. weather it be the CPBA or some national organization its an important thing to have especially today.

having a club is a great idea but, if you need them [sea tow] your still phucked if they feel it will be a lose without there pumps. so make sure you have big pumps plus a hand pump big one installed in your boat. ps this is art [airtime]on gerrys oso.hope to see you guys out there this summer. later art
