Thanks, do you think the x170 with 50hp would do okay or is it a bit too much for that set up? Ben |

Depends on the weight of the people you're towing too. Kids shouldn't be an issue. Big lards like me are going to slow you down!
For tubing, if you don't have a ton of speed just get them on a lot of corners. When you break out of the wake you really feel like you're going fast even if you aren't. |

| Thanks, will just be kids. Crazy on how decision making criteria changes when you have them:-) |

I loved tubing as a kid. Hope to pass that on to mine as well. Great way to keep them interested in being on the water. Fish gills or whatever is biting in the morning, take them tubing mid day, before they know it the day is done. |

Yes, I agree. Can't wait. She loves the water already. Looking to keep the boat on the lighter side as the mountains are difficult and all my muskie trips are 4-17 hrs away. |
