I got a omc 1981 140hp motor in a 19' pierce arrow boat. Was wondering how big of a person thisbwould pull up on skis and tubing assuming i have minimum weight in the boat itself. Im not looking for an exact answer but i am a very large guy 350lbs and would love to try if it would work. Its a recently rebuilt motor that runs amazing. Its an inboard outboard motor

My buddy had a Conroy with a Merc 140 and it would pull someone of your size up, but the person has to be able to hang on long enough to get up on solemn, less time on 2 skies. Tubes are not much of an issue

You are going to need to get the largest skis you can find. Connelly made some skis for heavier skiers
