Does anyone ski or pull skiers off their pontoon boat? I'm looking for a pontoon-compatable pylon for skiing. I have seen info on some products (ebay, etc) but haven't been able to get a website.<br /><br />Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Skiing off a pontoon

I do not know if you have enoufgh speed to do this with a pontoon. I am able to pull a tube fast enoufgh for the kids to enjoy, and may eventually take up wakeboarding as I understand the speed requirments are less than skiing.I believe you need a minimum speed of 25+ for two skies and this is toufgh for most pontoons. Sorry no help on the pylon.

Re: Skiing off a pontoon

it will be extremely hard to get up on a wakeboard behind a pontoon. it takes a lot of horsepower and speed to get someone up out of the water. once up the max speed is about 25. so the hard part is getting up not the speed. it can be done though but the boarder will swallow a lot of water from getting dragged through the water.
