Thumbs up Re: Can The Lowe FM165 Be Used For Tubing/Skiing?

Shouldn't be a problem for you...heck I pull a tube behind my old 1966 Glastron with a 1969 Mercury 1000 (100 HP)...she still pulls skiers just fine too. When I want to scare myself silly I jump in the jet boat. (402 Chevy Big Block with Berkeley jetpump).

Mike in Missouri...pronounced misery

To answer the original question - sure, why not?
