Trophy 1952 ski behind?

[Doug Fir]

Hey folks- anyone out there ever ski behind a Trophy 1952 walk around? It has a 4.3l mercruiser. We're not looking for competition type skiing obviously- just want to know if anyone has done this. If you have, how did you attach the rope? There are just 2 cleats on the stern, one on each side. Is this sufficient or will they rip out. Thanks in advance for any advice. Doug

Re: Trophy 1952 ski behind?

You can ski behind just about anything. Some are more suitable than others but just because it's not a ski boat doesn't mean you can't ski. To attach a rope, there is a three point harness that attaches to the transom tie down eyes and has an attachment point for a ski or towable rope. They are not very expensive and can be picked up on IBoats or just about anywhere that sells water toys.
