I do! Been a member for a while when. Never used it once in about 4 years. Then the maiden voyage for our new Trojan last month we had to get towed back in, worth every penny!!

For their on water services, I have it- never had to use it, hopefully won't have to... but it's worth every penny if you need ungrounding or a tow back to homeport or further. Get the unlimited package, for a peace of mind.

I also use them for my insurance.

I have Boat US. Have never had to use it, but will not drop them.
I have a 28 ft Trojan docked on Catawba Island in Onio. Would like to hear from other Trojan owners in the area.

I wanted to use them for my insurance, but they only offer liability in florida. Still looking for a good carrier for full coverage. Progressive said they wont do a boat older then 20 years.

Prowler, is Sea Tow that much better is justifies a 2nd membership? Just curious.

mPulse, I have my insurance through Texas Farm Bureau, and since my boat is over 20 years old, they underwrite it through Progressive. I have a 1972 Sea Raider with a unique progressive policy number and login. That is unique to hear they won't insure anything over 20 years. Must be a regional thing.

Boat US memeber ship is only 25-30 bucks that gives you 50 bucks towing I joined for other resons

to get real towing from Boat US you pay a lot more (125.00) its inline with Sea-Tow price

In this area I feel Sea tow is better that can vary from area to area . both are good choices in most areas
