What is all this talk about a lien then? Has one been filed? It doesn't sound like it.

Then about the boatyard, which I assume is Zimmerman, saying they will not keep the boat for you? Unless you're going to have them work on it, why would they?

When did you buy the membership? Note please Towboat US is "membership". It is not insurance.

Did Towboat US pump it out? If so, I refer you to their exclusion paragraph, which is why psneeld explains it as salvage.

This Towing Service Agreement becomes effective 11:59 PM on the day of payment and does not apply to: ..... salvage, including but not restricted to hard groundings, or assistance requiring more than one vessel, pumps, divers, airbags or other special equipment;


How long did this take them and what was their charge?
