Pulling behind a pontoon

[mytee_hercules]

Greetings to all !

I have recently acquired a 96 Sun Tracker Party Barge 24 with a 120 hp outboard. I am looking forward to enjoying this craft on the water, to include pulling my kids on tubes, kneeboards, and skiis. The problem I seem to have is that there is no tow eye installed on the craft. I've seen these tow harnesses advertised in Overton's, one steel with a floating unit and one rope.

Anyone use these products on their boat ? Any preference between the two ? Is there a preferred method of attaching it to the boat ? Can you just wrap it around the rear supports or do you need to install cleats or rings onto the deck ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pictures woud be outstanding !! Thanks in advance for your help.

Hanging out in Little Rock, AR . . . .

Re: Pulling behind a pontoon

I just use the two tie downs in the rear, there is a harness that connects the two with a pully in the middle that works real well for sharper corners. I think mine cost about 20 dollars.
