Where you live also factors in.
We have no tow services and no radio in some mountainous inlets. I'd like to think I can fix stuff, or at least give it a good shot, before hitting the 'HELP' button on the Spot Messenger. (We have a 9.9hp kicker on the swim step, so [in theory] wouldn't be totally screwed).
Satellite phone.
Yes, expensive but, a funeral is more expensive.
I have an annual contract for 300 minutes, no roll over. About $650.
I keep it for hurricane season when the cell towers are flat on the ground.
