I.m seeing a Pete vs. JQ showdown here.
JQ behind the wheel, Pete on the tube, the rope hooked to the rear tow eye and anything goes from there. Bets on the outcome would of course be allowed and encouraged. All proceeds to the losers favorite charity since he might need it. Boat judges would be needed to settle any disputes over time on the tube etc. Maybe a collection to fly JQ to the Eagle River reunion and this could be happening soon. A historical event or maybe a hysterical event anyways  |

JQ, Fill me in on your logic or are you saying this in jest?

Go Team Red!
That is one of my favorite color schemes. I would recommend that you NOT pull from the ski pylon. Use the rear transom tow point (not the grab handle). JQ |

Thanks Gary
Most of the decals on my 93 were removed at some point, likely to compound the boat before I bought it.

Thanks Jonny
This is a group of kids who do not know how to ski, and want a day on the water. My wife will operate my pontoon as a support boat with the mom, friends and siblings of the birthday boy. I have an experienced adult with as a spotter. Since my SN is a bone stock 93, we will pull from the pylon with just spotter and I in the boat. It is a week day, so less vacation traffic on the chain. I plan to use a bay on Otter lake and play. I hear you on not destroying water for other skiers |

Don't let the anti-tubers get you down. I "get it". I have 6 children and there have been many times when the water was too rough to ski / board and the kiddos wanted to play. The tube has provided many good memories. Also, I've worked with various youth organizations and group tubing excursions can provide good entertainment. In my boat, there is the "Jonny Quest Challenge". This challenge is that if you can stay on the tube for 30 seconds, I buy you all the food you can eat at the restaurant of your choice. I've never yet had to pay out. I've only had a handful of re-riders. I'm hopeful that with therapy and medication, they will make a full recovery... Some tubing tips: - No tubing while someone is skiing / boarding near by - Be very considerate of others -- as your tubing activities can destroy the water and annoy others with your boat wakes - Be hyper vigilant when operating the towboat - Try to limit your tubing to choppy water time JQ |

Don't be giving him a hard time guy's,see where he's from? Pete might be mentoring them. He can't stay on top forever
 Maybe Jim your decal is missing or never had one. Company lawyers could have got it put on later boats too. Whatever you end up using it for keep an eye on it,the rope turning action on it seems to loosen them. Between my Dads and Father in law's massive tool collection it took me awhile to find an allen wrench that big to fit.

I got one boat, and a 16yo birthday boy and his friends that want to tube (wife's best friends kid). So I figure out how to do it best.

you said tubing... I hope you have thick skin, that could be a brutal mistake around here.
I don't think i would use the thimble on the transom for anything but a tie down spot. I believe that the Thimble is bolted through the fiberglass with a 3/8's bolt and a nut on the back side. use the pylon and you wont' be worried about cracks or tearing the thimble out. |

Am I ok pulling a few kids on a tube off the rear tow location on my 93 SN? Or do I risk cracking fiberglass?
