AS TYLER STATES " ITS ALL ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIP " I AM NOT A MEMBER OF TOWBOAT OR SEATOW BECAUSE IM RUNNING KINDA A NEW RIG, SO I HAVE NOT JOINED THESE ON THE WATER PIRATES. IS ANYONE INTERESTED IN TRADING CONTACT NUMBERS TO HELP WITH A FELLOW FISHERMAN IN DISTRESS ON THE WATER? I WOULD HOPE THAT IT GOES WITH OUT SAYING WOULD NEED THOSE WHO NEED A TOW, GAS, WHATEVER TO PAY UP FOR THE TIME OR GAS TO BE RESCUED. $ 40.00 OR $50.00 BUCKS IS BETTER THAN SOME HITS GUYS HAVE HAD TO PAY TO THESE OUTFITS!

They may seem like pirates. But to me it is cheap insurance. My buddy was 40 miles offshore when his lower unit went out. Made the call and they came and towed him back. Cost? $139.00/year. Cost of tow? $0.00. I have a very reliable boat and I do my preventive maintenance. But you can never tell when something will break. Just my $0.02... Adios

Skipper

Plus it doesn't matter whose boat I am in.

Thats not too bad... my buddy who rolled his friend's truck down pins (that thread got shut down) had to pay...... 10,400 bucks to get towed to the ranger's station.

Towed in quite a few people over the years, including a WAKEBOARD boat that had run out of gas and didn't know which way was shore. Getting those guys thru the mouth of the PA jetties was fun.

That said, I'll check on you and leave if all you are safe, I'm not going to blow a fishing trip because you failed at properly maintaining your equipment. Shocked

Call Seatow.

Haven't towed anyone into Packery yet, but it's a matter of time. Better hope you launched at the Packery ramp, because that's as far as you are going.

I have got up and gone after a few of my buds who broke down down the bay while I was sitting in my easy chair. It always seems to happen on a Sunday afternoon. I may grumble and groan but it's a good deed in the end. I just hope when it happens to me I can depend on one of them to do the same. The true test...........

UNLIKE J,C, KADMAN AND OTHERS UNDERSTANDS MY POINT, I PULLED 4 GUYS BACK WITH A YOUNG BOY ON BOARD LAST SPRING IN HARD RAIN AND LIGHTNING AROUND FROM THE YELLOW CABINS TO MARKER 37. THEY TOLD ME A DOZEN BOATS HAD PASSED THEM BY. I WAS HAPPY TO HELP OUT THESE GUYS, AND YES I TOOK THERE $ 40.00 BUCKS AND A BIG HAND SHAKE. PULLED TWO OTHER GUYS IN AS WELL DURING THE SUMMER, SHORTER DISTANCE NO MONEY WAS OFFERED, NO PROBLEM, GLAD TO HELP ANOTHER FISHERMAN IN DISTESS. IF TYLER WOULD COME UP WITH A CORPUSFISHING.COM MEMEBER STICKER I WOULD DISPALY ON BOAT AND CABIN TO LET OTHER MEMBERS KNOW THEY COULD COUNT ON HIS READERS/MEMBERS TO DO THE RIGHT THING. JUST A THOUGHT, STILL WORKING ON FIRST CUP OF COFFEE.

i don't mind helping people even if it means blowing a trip out, but honestly, you have to ask yourself, if you bought that $50k boat, plus a floater or house out there, then why not pay the extra $140/year to get SeaTow for EXTRA insurance?

you don't even have to be on your on boat if something happens, as long as you are a memeber, you are covered....

call me crazy, but if i can afford the expensive toys, i want to make sure they are covered just in case something happens, SeaTow is cheap compared to other services.
