Never noticed a difference in the last ten years. However for the past ten years I've had a twin engine v-drive boat that has never let me down so I have not needed towing. Can't even think of a time I saw a twin inboard boat being towed. Only sterndrive boats. Before buying Just Ducky, I had a 26' boat with a sterndrive. Back then, towboat/us was better for me because they were local and that &@#%$@ sterndrive had me calling them a lot.
Single sterndrive guys should contract with whomever offers the best contract price, the most locations in their cruising area, and is located closest. You pay from the time they leave their dock until they return to it, so the less time they spend getting to you and back home, the lower your bill.
Other than that, watch your charts and water depth so that you don't run aground and manage your fuel well. If you do that I can't ever see a need for towing.
Best regards,

Frank;I'm aware of your feelings toward stern drive powered boats,however not being in saltwater I don't have the dreaded corrosion problems.cheers! Tom and Linda
