The Official Towboat (of other boats)
my outback is now the "official towboat" of other vessels
A bunch of us went out boating through The Gates of the Mountains and 1 of the 4 boats decided to stall on the lake this past saturday. Had to tow him in. I think his out-drive gears got all mangled up? Anyhow, glad we were all in a convoy at the time. We were a few miles in and not many vessels to be seen!

I realy enjoy towing other boats. this gives me a chance of showing other people how my rig is powerfull. The other day i even broke the 20 mph barrier while towing a 18' seadoo boat. And i always tow from transom lift rings, except one time because it was an emergency...

I never hesitate to give someone a tow. I think we have all been there needing the free ride back to the ramp.

I've towed in 2 boats, but never bothered to take pics. not something that I figure I'll look at again, not to mention it might be embarassing for the towed party. figure I'll be there someday and really don't want my pic all over a mastercraft board with a bunch of boobs saying how lame skiers products are figure that would erase all the good karma built up from a tow..
my .02 anyways.....'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten

I have pulled in 3 - two of which were fishing boats - now that is some good karma. For one of the two fishing boats I had to put in off my lift in order to tow them. And also rescued a jetski couple whou could not get back on the jetski for some reason... no alcohol involved.
You know I think it is maritime law that you must come to the aid of boat in trouble - amazing how many people will ignore someone clearly in trouble.If you believe something to be true, it will be - in it's consequences.
