My girlfriend wants to get a tube behind my boat. I think it will work at a minimum but I'm not sure. It's a 14' StarCraft Holiday 14 with a Suzuki DF25A. Anyone?
Unless she’s as thin as Olive Oyl (Popeyes chick), a tube won’t get up on plane. I have a similar rig and couldn’t get an adult up on skis either. If she is ok with plowing around, go for it!
I think I might just buy the cheap tube Walmart sells and see what it will do. I put the loosest pitch prop I could to get the RPM up on plane. We will have fun regardless
Remember that many if not most states consider pulling a tube the same as a skier and require an observer when pulling one. I have a similar set up with 30hp on a 14' er and am sure I could pull a youngster at speeds close enough to keep then entertained by putting my lower pitch spare prop on and two adults on board. Never tried it but I thing it might be iffy with 3 adults.
Indeed I live in a state where a spotter is required. As it should be. I've thought about putting the 30hp ecu and intake mesh in place but it voids warranty. I would have bought 30hp except Suzuki doesn't make the DF30A in short shaft. So I have to make it if I want it
