I would simply take $5,250 cash with you to his office. While you are there, see if he will take less than the $5,250. When the price is negotiated, have him give you a receipt, signed by him, that not only shows the amount paid but that the bill has been paid in full.

If the boat was sinking and required pumps and a haul out to be saved, it was salvage not just a tow. Unfortunately, you and the contractor should have settled on a price at the time and signed a salvage agreement on site. BoatUS has a sample salvage contract where both parties agree to binding arbitration.
