Foe those interested in purchasing a new toy - Sea Tow offers a loan program designed for just SEA\\TOW members . Here is a link to the press release. http://www.4seatow.com/pressroom/2007releases/SeaLoans.pdf

Jeff - you can get your 31' Cape now without selling your boat!!!!

Just wanted to say i called sea insure.. I got a quote very nice people. They beat my current policy by 62 dollars, same exact limits and deductibles. And a boat like mine 1990 no survey needed,,,( that dont happen ) Thanks joe

Glad it worked out. I am always a little weary of announcing these things that our International office has launched but the past few (sea smart, sea insure, and sea loans) are long overdue and been needed for our members for a long time. Thanks for looking into it.

Capt. Shawn where are you in the cover shot of LifeLines?

Capt.Shawn, I have been a member of Boat US since 1991 and have unlimited towing with them. Since I joined this site I have read a lot of messages regarding Sea/Tow. I have not had any problems with Boat/US but I am interested in learning more about Sea/Tow. What would be the downside, if any, of using Sea/Tow vs Boat US? You seem to be well thought of my Barnegat Fishin' Hole members and from your posts, you seem to be a nice guy. Any info you can provide will be appreciated as my membership with Boat US Towing expires 4/30/07. czn "In The Mood"

czn Shawn will do anything it takes to help his members i know from experience and the people on this web site will help also Shawn is a great person and he will do what evere it takes to help you out.

CZN,

Thanks for the inquiry. You can have the best of both worlds. You can still be loyal to BUS and be their $19 member in which you can receive their magazine and still get their discounts. Use sea tow for your towing and on the water needs AS WELL AS using our discounts and receive our magazine. I could go on about the differences between the two but here is not the place. I will be more than happy to answer any questions anyone may have on the differences of the two companies and what we offer and why we offer more. Bottom line - we are a franchise and "own" our membership. That equates to wanting, no needing to keep our members happy year after year. Hope this helps and looking forward to answering any questions you may have. Just gve us a call.

CZN,
I would try to PM him. I know he is very modest and won't toot his own horn. So we do it for him. Plus we break it from time to time too.

I can tell you that you won't go wrong with Sea//Tow Central Jersey. Shawn runs a tight ship and his UNLIMITTED towing is truly UNLIMITTED. I know of at least one trip he ran to pick up a customer (a charter boat) at the Hudson Canyon....Yes Hudson Canyon.

John is referring to a time this fall when his electronics went out and he engine couldn't get over 4 knots. He was up off of seaside and making way towards the inlet. One of the guys from this site stayed with John until Shawn made it out. Shawn never took him under tow, just stood by with him the whole way in the inlet and back to Barnegat Twp.

Then there is the story of the over turned boat in the inlet a few years ago. Shawn left the security of his vessel to search under the overturned hull and rescued a child.(If my facts are off someone please chime in.)

Then there are the countless things he does for our site and the Barnegat Bay community. Most of you probably didn't know that he Co-Sponsors Barnegat Bay day along with a local radio station.

I can go on and on.

Bottom line, top notch guy with top notch captains working for him.


Wow he was typing while I was....

CZN you owe it to yourself to talk to a couple of people from this site and get their view. Sean is not one to brag, especially via a public forum like this. There is more to your decision than who you have your tow insurance from. Who do you want to deal with if you have a problem? What are those people really like? Ask around, you will find that not only is the local Sea Tow a good business, Sean and his employees are genuinely good people. They do the right things right. While they are in business, it's not just about the money, that's what sets them apart.

How much does BoatUS donate to the reef fund??? Answer: nada
Shawn is the classic example that in most cases local is always better.

Just my humble opinion.

what i really love about sea tow is when or if i ever need to make that call, i know who's coming to save the day, not some crackhead...............need i say more.

I have not had to use him or Capt. Kermit but at the next gathering I will tell you my story about my experience the other company (before I switched) between that and all the service above and beyond that Capt. Shawn does will make the decision easier.

I have met Kermit and he is a good man. I have yet to run into shawn but theres always this year!!! LOL


YELLOW BOATS RULE!!!!

Thank you all for your input. I will make the switch to Sea/Tow. czn "In The Mood"

CZN, Stop by our office if you would like. I am sure we have some goodies to give away! Our door is always open. Thanks again.

i also belong to boat us... expires in may... since 2000
i talked to the sea tow people at ac boat show, and will be making the switch in may... im sure shawn doesnt remember, but they pointed him out to me while i was there. anyway... ill be in touch soon

Boat US members and not invited to this years First Annual SeaTowStock Food, Drink and Music Fest (insert Shawn pic here in his best SeaTow hippy gear) .... Many other reasons but that's the best one my cabin fever will produce at the moment...

Wow Rich. A Blast from the past. I guess your not on Russian time anymore?

Misokat

Who are you kidding if you need a tow you will just find another threser.

Blast from the past my Ar*e ... LOL ... coming to a SeaTow office near you in the near future ... be afraid ... be very afraid :spin:

Seriously.. It's great to come up for air... I saw the thermometer and decided it was time to come out of hibernation .... It's been a LONG Winter but I'm ready for pillaging and mayhem once again .. I'll talk to you before the weekend..

no wreckman, this year i want one so big that Shawn has to bring big boat out to tow us both in!.

Is Shawn going to have to bring guys out to reel it in TOO!!!

LOL Misokat if anyone can you can. I'll even let you use my seatow card for that one. Justwatch out for the gaff.

maybe a certain Capt might be working that day and he can come out and help reel it, god knows he wants to feel what a fish over 40 pounds feels like....touche>>>>>>>.

Capt. Shawn, I just renewed my membership and I just wanted to thank you for your fine service...John
