I have a 10" metal hul inflatable with 25hp mercury. Is it possible to pull a water skier behind my boat. The boat has awesome pulling powers and a metal rig welded to transom t hook rope too
thanks

For that water venture will need to sit a boater up front to better balance the motor's weight, bow skyrocketing at full throttle, lessen the hull drag of a shorter 10 footer while the skier is being pulled.

Will probably need to go for a prop maximization to pull wot rpm towards its max wot rpm range to achieve a fast hole shot from a stationary combo position. Can work it latter once a transom mount is installed..

Happy Boating
