Last year was my first year with the boat. Tonight I mentioned to the kids that maybe we could do some tubing this year and they got super excited. But now I realize I don't know anything about it - Doh!.
#1 My boat (16 ft with 50 hp) will do 25 mph (gps) with the whole family on board and livewell filled. The motor still has some left at top end as I hit the rev limiter when at wide open - is this fast enough to tow a tuber? Would it be fast enough to tow a skier?
#2 If #1 is a yes, what tube type thingy would you recommend - my kids are 5, 9 & 10 and this summer
#3 Is there any more to it than hooking up a rope to the tube thingy and going? Any thing I should watch out for?
Thanks!
