    When I mentioned Towing Insurance that was for their insurance when you are towing your boat over the road. No experience with their actual boat insurance and (knock on wood) I haven't had to use the water towing but I have heard good reports.

    It's Alive!

    After a long dry winter and a cold wet spring the weather has finally truned so it is time to get the boat ready: Two new batteries and a shot of starting fluid and it fired right up. Couple minor chores and will be ready for the 2011 shakedown cruise.
