Capt. Bob Harris Takes the Helm of TowBoatU.S. Lake Lewisville

Reliable 24/7 On-The-Water Assistance for Boaters

Capt. Bob Harris, is US Coast Guard licensed and carries a Masters 100-ton with towing certification. Much like an auto club for boaters, TowBoatU.S. offers on-the-water towing plans for freshwater boaters and anglers for just $72 a year.

TowBoatU.S. has been operating on the lake since 2007. “TowBoatU.S. Lake Lewisville remains a 24/7 on-the-water assistance company that will get you back to a launch ramp or marina when your boat won’t get you there,” said Capt. Moore. The lake can be challenging, says Moore. “The lake can go from a dead calm to over 40 knots of wind in just minutes, and catch a lot of folks off guard.” The company has seen its share of calls for assistance for routine breakdowns: running out fuel, running aground, battery jumps, and mechanical breakdowns.

The company’s response boat is a 27-foot Boston Whaler Challenger with red hull and “TowBoatU.S.” in white letters along her sides. It is fully rigged for towing and salvage work, carrying extra fuel and engine fluids, pumps, dive gear and extended jumper cables. TowBoatU.S. Lake Lewisville may be called 24 hours a day at 972-757-5004, or through the BoatU.S. toll-free dispatch service at 800-391-4869, or by hailing on VHF Channel 16.

Harris is also a member of Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS), which in addition to offering on-the-water and roadside assistance towing plans, also offers boat insurance programs and is the nation’s advocate for recreational boaters. “I’ve known the value of BoatUS membership long before I started towing boats,” he says with a smile.
