/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cobra Marine, a division of Cobra

proud Sea Tow has chosen to partner with us," said Tony Mirabelli,
Cobra's senior vice-president of marketing and sales. "With their
tow boats used to assist boaters on the water and most calls being
sent from VHF radios, it's a natural partnership." Further ensuring
dependability and creating an operational standard, Cobra Marine
will outfit Sea Tow Command Central with their new VHF radio
products. Established in 1983 by Captain Joe Frohnhoefer, Sea Tow
is a franchise-based, international marine assistance organization
headquartered in Southold, New York. With over 110 locations, the
company's network represents nearly 1,000 captains, crew and
professional support staff who are standing by 24 hours a day to
serve the recreational boating community. "Innovation is key to
make communicating on the water easier and more reliable," said Sea
Tow CEO Capt. Joe Frohnhoefer. "Cobra's VHF radios already
incorporate innovative technologies like Rewind-Say-Again(TM).
There have been many times during my career when we could have
improved our response time and accuracy if our tow boats' VHF
radios had a rewind button. I am looking forward to what we can
develop together." For more information or to schedule interviews,
