Nice tow boat . I worked on and own one of the earlier versions of the Foam collared Safe Boat . I only have a single 2 stroke 120 hp on the 15’ prototype but it tows like a 20’. Have had it 22 miles off Wa coast at Neah Bay , fishing for Halibut. 135 miles on one day. Used to circle the CG steel hulls as they got beat up on windy days on Puget Sound near Seattle, then they boarded me one day and all said at same time, “ we need one of these .” I fished 52/52 weekends a year until fishing crapped out locally. Never a shortage of tows .
They were moved to a repair facility, it was supposed to be a haul out, but were put temporarily there. Boatus covers everything on the water, it covers any boat you rent, own, or borrow. It doesn’t cover you on your buddies boat if he’s there. They also did away with the professional memberships for captains which cover any boat they run for hire, they basically just want the owners to have the coverage. Their dock to dock tows take 30 days for the coverage to go into effect, and it doesn’t cover from a repair facility that can do the work required. This particular one called when he was at a regular marina to avoid any issues.

They just wanted moved from one dock to the other? How many folks have to actually pay for your service vs. the ones that have the insurance?

@@CaptainRetriever Thx, good to know.
Is the boat yours or the company's?
Personally I just work here.. The local towers are basically sub contractors of towboat us/geico, they own the boats.
How much gas do you use while towing?
Anywhere from 1/3 of a mile per gallon to almost no extra fuel, it all depends of the weight of the vessel & the current etc.
