I agree. Their boat insurance is underwritten by Geico BTW.I believe you can call boat US and just get the tow package to include trailer assist. But over 12 years of boat ownership? I have gravitated to just getting rid of the company (Erie) that insures all my stuff for the boat, and use Boat US. They are specialists and the claims process is so easy. (I had a kid lose her wig a few years back on a tube run, $1000 wig, and was reimbursed quickly with no hassle on the medical claim.) A boat tow issue documented here few years ago (towed off a sandbar) moved me about 50 yards or so. Free with a phone call. Very expensive if I didn't have the towing. And then this incident. No hassle. No out of pocket. I recommend Boat US for the entire boat thing, forget your normal insurance. And the rates are competitive if not better. But to your question? Yes. call 'em up and sign up for towing/trailer assist. I went ten years without having to use it, but was damn glad I had it. You will be too. My idiot brother in law got towed off the Chesapeake 3 years ago when his POS boat failed. $1400. I asked him "After that experience,you got the Boat US on water towing, correct?" No. Damn if it didn't happen again the next year. You can't fix stupid.
