Looks very similar in size/layout to my dads old boat with a 70 johnson. It tows that exact tube just fine. Maybe not the quickest, but 25 or so mph that it will do with that tube is more than you will probably ever go with it.

I think his has roughly a 17x 13 3/4 prop on it. So it's basically geared low for carrying 6 people or towing a tube. If your closer to a 19 pitch for speed it might not go quite as well. But it will do it just fine still
