yes it is able to be done. i do it all the time with my dad and my brother…. its a 97 770 that pulls it… as long as it have over 600cc you can get up outa the water.. but you do have to have a spotter and a seat for the skier on the pwc if he wants outa the water

I have a Honda Aquatrax F-12, we pull skiers and one and two man tubes all the time. A 3 man jet ski has more than enough power to pull a full grown adult out of the water at 30-40mph. The power on my jet ski is 137Hp, that is far more than you need to pull a tube or a water skier. Most laws require a drived and a spoter, so the previous person is correct you have to have a large 3-man PWC. But it is fun, and a PWC has more power than you need, or want when you are on the back of the tube.

I’ve seen this done many times. You will need a pretty powerful jet ski and be sure to check your state laws. Some require special equipment, especially rear view mirrors.

I have never seen it. I would question whether or not a jet ski has enough power to pull someone who is tubing or skiing.

Yes. Legally, you must have a driver, spotter and a seat for the skier/tuber. So you can only legally use the 3 passenger models.

Comment on Q&A: How Should I Weight My Boat? by Zues

Zues — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 16:04:13 +0000

look up your boats weight limits and just keep adding weight,

make sure that only 25% if any of that weight is solid tho(concrete, sand,rocks) , or you could sink if you use only water ballasts, even if you do exceed weight limits, your boat wont sink but just fill to the surface with water…

when adding weight, dont just add to the back… add it everywhere in the boat.. if its all in the back.. itll take forever to get the boat to plane and youll be going extremely fast getting there… if its all in the front, no wake. just make sure that whatever you do to one side of the boat, do to the other…

hope this helps

add friends. (3 large people will do wonders for the wake) fat sacks.metal bars. coolers full of drinks. speed change & rope length change may help too.

Comment on Canon EOS Rebel XTi – right choice at right price? by vienna2001

Just about any zoom will do outside in daylight. When you shoot in a gym it’s a different story — lighting is generally poor.

Your flash won’t reach 40 to 60 yards so you’ll have to crank up the ISO (luckily the XTi will go to 1600 fairly happily).

You may find the f5.6 aperture of the 75-300 at full zoom will not give you the necessary shutter speed to stop motion.

I’d try to get closer and use flash (if allowed) or find a faster lens.

Hope this helps.
