I was gonna get a Sea Tow but ended up with Progressive Sign & Glide coverage. They don't use any single service they leverage anyone in the area. Used it one night out flounder gigging about 2am, called them up and they said standby we'll call back. I got a call back about 10 minutes later they'd woken up someone to come get me. Then they called every 15 minutes until I was out of there. No payment up front, dude just walked up to my boat with a clipboard, I signed, he towed and that was the end of it. Sign & Glide was seriously cheap to add to the boat coverage too, iirc it was like $5/mo on the policy.Last edited by justletmein; 01-22-2020, 02:29 PM.

Wife works at usaa and insured our boat with progressive I like them for the bay system’s
On side note when I fished out of port Mansfield, on days it was to rough to fish offshore, I would pick up some extra money working for the local marinea, running around dropping off 2 stroke oil , 5 gallon gas tank or pulling people off the reef to the channel
Owners didn’t have a tow boat and would split the price with me

Man, I overheard a conversation of two guys talking about getting a boat unstuck down in Baffin Bay. They were saying if you don't have something like a platinum credit card, those guys won't touch your boat, the will take off and leave you. I swear, they said, it cost something like $15,000 to get their boat unstuck. I have stuck a boat a few times, I was always able to get out and drag the boat out of the mud, **** sure not paying $15,000 to get pulled off a sand bar or out of some mud.
I am guessing these deals y'all are talking about are basically the boat equivalent of AAA or a similar service. I guess much cheaper than not having any prepaid service.
