Look at Boat US for towing insurance. Mine cost $113.00 as you can see it is worth it

WOW! That's enough bad luck for an entire season. Glad no damage other than to ego was done.:D Yea you got to have tow insurance. I can't tell you how many people don't think they need it until they do. Pretty expensive lesson. Caught in a crab pot line eh. Guess I've been luck 'cause I've sure run over my share of them. It only get worse as the season goes on. Be carefull out there.;)
