Towing
| BoatUS | SeaTow | |
| Cost / year (our needs) | $90.00, ‘Unlimited Inland’ | $119.00, ‘Lake Card’ |
| Pros (+), Cons (-) | + Magazine – Call center has a bit to wish for… including their app – have to SAY everything, NO means for them got get access to info via app/IT system |
+ (?) More direct access in the Lake, they are one of the companies operating there ? Not sure SeaTow’s app is that much better |
