Captain Nick Serrano Of Sea Tow Miami Uses Weego 66 To Jump Start A Stranded Boater
WESTAMPTON, N.J. – Weego, innovators of portable jump starters and rechargeable battery packs, announced today its offering its Weego 66 premium jump starter to all Sea Tow franchise operators. In addition, Weego is now a Sea Tow Savings Club national participant for all Sea Tow members to take advantage of discount pricing.
Saving time and energy and requiring very little space onboard, Weego 66 has been field tested by selected high-volume Sea Tow franchises and has been proven to stand up to the everyday rigors of their boater assistance operations.
“Sea Tow captains are constantly being called on to jump start an engine. It’s one of the top three services offered by Sea Tow captains,” said Gerry Toscani, CEO of Weego. “Having a rugged, yet portable lightweight solution that is incredibly safe, crazy-simple to use and more than durable enough to withstand the repeated use demanded by Sea Tow makes their jobs a whole lot easier.”
“We used our Weego 66 on Fourth of July weekend and it was a big hit. Over the past month or so we did close to 40 jumps with it,” said Captain Chris Smith, Sea Tow Miami. “It was so easy to use, the perfect size and built with the right features. My captains didn’t treat it gently and it still worked exactly as required. It also has a big ‘wow factor’ for the members we helped on the water. From jump starting to charging their phones, the intensity of the flashlight to the water-resistant storage pouch, they loved the features of Weego 66.”
“We have tried many portable jump starting products, but Weego 66 has proven to be the most utilitarian portable power solution we have tried to date,” said Captain Nik Foster, Sea Tow Daytona/Ponce/New Smyrna. “The robust design, the commercial-grade clamps and even the vibrant orange color make it feel like it belongs on a working boat. Since we started using Weego 66, it has replaced our bulky jump packs and jumper cables for all but the large 30 foot and up vessels. I plan to have every captain on my team carry Weego 66 in their captain’s bag.”
Sea Tow members are now able to purchase Weego portable power products through their Sea Tow Savings Club portal.
“We are constantly looking for ways to add value for Sea Tow members and with the very positive referrals by several of our franchise owners, we know that we have not only found an essential boater’s tool, but an enthusiastic company in Weego as well,” said Cindy McCaffery, vice president of program development, Sea Tow.
Available in four models, each Weego includes ergonomic, patented Smarty Clamps® – jump starter clamps that incorporate lights and sounds to guide any user through the jumping process, making them not only the easiest to use but also the safest. From the affordable jump-starting-only 22s model, to the full-feature 66 model, there is a product that can jump start up to 10L gas engines (5L diesel), charge phones and laptops, power 12V electronics and illuminate up to 600 lumens. The latest introductions to the Weego portable power line are designed and engineered in the United States, built to a high-quality standard and offered at price points that ensure maximum value.
