[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 121307, member: 1776"] 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! Will [/QUOTE]
