Hello I'm new to this forum. Just bought a used 2005 Mr Pike 18 with 150 hp Honda about a month ago through craigslist. Just have some questions. Is there any wood in the transom? Are the tow hooks in the transom strong enough for tubing? If so, how strong are they really are? Will I be able to tow 3 adults on a tube? I'm thinking of installing a ski pylon but want to try out the tow hooks first.

Thanks in advance.

I am pretty sure that the transom has plywood inside. I have never tried pulling a tube, but I have skied behind a Mr. Pike for dozens of hours and we used a floating harness that attached to both of the transom eyes.

Have Fun!

For those who want to know, I've contacted Lund about this. They said they use those transom tow hooks to lift the boat with engine onto the trailer in the factory. So if that's strong enough for lifting boats, then it's strong enough for tubing.
