I am plannig on towing my inflatable behind a 32ft fisherman from marina del rey to catalina (about 40 miles), I will average about 14mph on the way, which creates a significant wake behind the boat. How should I tow a 10 foot dinghy with a 25hp johnson attached to it.

Take the outboard off then just tow with enough line too keep it behind the converging wake.

Problem is, I will be getting a mooring in catalina and I cant re-install the 25 from my swimstep, its too big and heavy
