Hello everyone,
I am a 390MY owner... and yes I love the darn boat. In fact my wife and I were thinking of going bigger only to realize that we needed to go all the way up to a 56 foot something to get the same room... but that is a discussion for another day..
Anyhow, we just purchased a new Boston Whaler 150 Super Sport to tow behind the 390MY as our tender. I went the correct route, and had a company that specifically makes tow cables make up all the rigging (this was required by my insurance company anyhow) and in addition to this, the 390MY's aft cleats all had to be reinforced as well as a massive tow eye installed on the Boston.
Anyhow, the insurance company says I have to keep the Boston Whaler's engine in the water when I tow, however Mercury says I can't do that because water might get into the heads... etc... etc ... etc. I wanted to see if anyone had experience with this. I went out this weekend and put just a little part of the motor in the water and it did just fine... but I still think
Thoughts anyone
