SeaTow vs Boat US in Panama City Beach area question

[Seoul76]

Any advise as to who to go with? I have heard great things about both??? I have skisafe right now and they cover up to $600 per tow but I think I would rather spend the money and get one of these memberships.

I have needed help once in 16 years (ran out of fuel!!!), They will help you at $200 per hour with no membership. With 2 engines your likelihood of needing a tow is LOW LOW LOW. I would not join if I was you. If you want to join regardless I'm sure others will provide a preference between the two.

I needed them last year after having two dead batteries. I learned the hard way of the habit of keeping batteries on a tender while not in use and not utilizing both batteries while operating the livewell and other electronics. I had TowBoat US- they were awesome. Could've been a very loooooong day at sea.

If you plan to boat other places looks at their respective coverage in those locations too. I chose Tow Boats because they cover Lake Hartwell, and Sea Tow does not. We plan to boat on Lake Hartwell from time to time.
