I have an old runabout boat we use for tubing/ kneeboarding

How can i keep the rope outa the wake and keep the spry down ?

Boat has 2 low conection spots ? Homeade contraptions ( not ski towers)

Boatersland has this thing...

We have developed the 4K Booster Ball, an inflatable buoy with tow rope connected to both ends, as a way of keeping the tow rope out of the water the majority of the time while towing. This enhances the overall performance of most towables & all our new DOABLES. The Booster is a hybrid towing system for more effortless towing of inflatable Doable/towables.

Costco here in Canada carries it as well Maybe in the U.S as well.

how big is your line, swiching to a smaller line helped me. I had a 5/8 and switched to a 3/8.

Line is kinda chunky So a smaller line would do the trick ?? ANd i saw the booster ball might look into that.

The best way is to make the bridle too short to get into the prop. It also helps to have a float on it.

Try a smaller line made a HUGE difference on mine.

3/8 I think. I picked up the Airhead 2 section rope and it was much thinner than the old rope I had. I think the old one was made for a 4 person tube.
