Vessel Assist, Sea tow and Tow boat

[checkrd past]

Which one is has the better service? and why?

 

[TPC]

Tow boat is Vessel assist and for the So Cali ocean service they have good service

Vessel Assist... when i bought it the first time was the only one that covered all the inland lakes I believe. Sea Tow didn't at the time.

We and all our friends have "TowBoats US" here in Havasu. The red boats.

 

[HEY YOU]

That would be Vessel Assist, I have that also, I don't know if it's because we have V.A bit I see them all over the lake and up in Needles where I spend most of my time.

Vessel assist will get you the same thing that Seal tow does for 1/4th the price.

I just signed up this month and went with towboat us aka vessel assist. I stay on needles and they have a boat there and havasu. They also have a large coverage area for less money. If they don't offer service on a lake I believe they will reimburse you too
They also just started at lake Mohave recently also.

I'm surrounded by Towboat

Sea Tow was there when I needed them on the ocean.

Cant say who's better on inland lakes.

The dad is understandable and the kids accents have bounced off each other for so long in isolation in their adventures that they have got so nasally in their speech they sometime have to talk real slow to be understandable. Especially Riley.

Never had to use them yet but i think its best to have a phone and vhf.You can call on the phone if you have service and when they are close you can hail on the vhf.I got a baofeng uv5 that i programmed channel 16,and 68,72 into the radio.

Does vessel assist also do parker? For $72 per year it's worth it for the couple of runs to topock we do each summer.

I broke down in front of echo Lodge, took a couple of calls but I found somebody to come get me. It wasn't Sea Tow or vessel assist, it was another number that one of them gave me. Couple of guys in a Malibu showed up 15 minutes later, and I Paid 200 bucks for a 30-minute tow down to Pirates.

For the past 14 years their was good cell coverage across the channel from NPB to Avalon.
Now there is a 6 mile dead spot mid way with Verizon.
Marine radio is essential.
