Can anyone recommend a tube that works well with a pretty much stock 17/48 BB PD. My son wants me to get one to pull him with. Who's done it? and How well did the tube you used work?

I've pulled a medium sized tube and a 220+lb grown man on it. You want one with a bottom that will plane. The hollow ones drag a ton of water. Get plenty of rope and make sure you know where it is at all times. Real easy to get it in your prop. I hooked my rope mid-way up my poling platform with a splitter so it pulled from both sides.

Once you get it worked out it's a lot of fun. The boat can run as shallow as the tube in most cases. It's funny rolling your buddies off on the sandbar :lol: if you want to pelt their asses with your roost, shorten the rope :lol:

This one looks fun!! http://www.skidiscounters.com/675-531265.html

2 - 120# kids on tube, 2 - 120# or so in boat with my fat ass, pulling a tube at 25 mph. But I have a stage 2 Kawasaki prodrive. :twisted:

I tried pulling a 2 person tube once and I think I may have barely seen 18 mph when there was only one person on it... I have a stock motor though so maybe if you have a little more power it would work.

I could pull my 110 pound son on a hydro slide. I could not get a 220 guy up on plane on a hydro slide. I was using a worked 3 blade. It might have been with me worked 2 blade but doubt it. He was plowing a bunch of water. Have not tried a tube yet.

That one would probably do pretty good!

Never pulled a tube but I've wakeboarded behind a few of them and it does well.

I've thought about putting a wakeboard tower on my boat to drag the kids around in.

Something like this one.

Last time we did it all we had was a 1 man blow up raft and a wakeboard rope. I pulled that damn thing all over the river that day.

Nobody could hold on for long. Holding the rope with the raft dragging was hell on the arms.

Why hold a rope while on a tube??

We used to use a cheap Walmart towable tube a few years back behind the mud boats.


Even caught the tides right and dragged across some mud flats. Was a big time as long as they didn't trim the motor up and you get a face full of mud.

See if I can find some pictures.
