vintage ski boats
90 HP enough for pulling tubes?
Looking at buying my first boat. I have my eye on a 17' Bowrider, recent vintage. It has a 90 HP outboard. Most of the boats on our lakes that I see pulling kids on tubes seem to be inboards, that I assume are larger.
Does this boat seem reasonable for what I want to do - mainly pull a couple of kids 10-14 on tubes? Is there any benefit from an inboard?
Many thanks!
I could pull both tubes and skis (full size adults) with my 14' tri-hull with a 40HP Evinrude. It was hard for me at 250 lbs to slalom, but I could ski.
I now have a 17' tri-hull with a 65HP Evinrude. It pulls two, and even my fat self!
You should be good to go.
Yes there are benefits to inboards, but some trade offs as well. The I/O's will give more power, and are (arguably) more reliable. Repair costs on an I/O may be more than an O/B.

Back in the Day Episode #1 Water ski race crash
{ 2 comments }
Fill the kayaks with foam and build a deck.
You hit the nail on the head. I grew up on a lake and if it was dark enough for lights it was too dark for speed. Only if you had spot lights that shot much further ahead were you able to travel slightly faster than others but never fast enough to warrant the ability to fly over another boat. We own a Supra and they sit about an inch above the water because they are professional ski boats designed for the precision maneuvers needed in competitions. Bayliners however sit much, much higher in the water. He had to be hauling butt to hit it and go over it. BUT, for the driver of the Bayliner under no circumstance should he ever not have his lights on. However, IF his lights were on then yes, Mr. Supra Driver was going way too fast and should be held responsible. I guess we wait and see.
