Baller 2Valve Posted March 23, 2023 Baller Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) 12. All of them got up on two skis and then we had a chase boat picking up any that dropped. We tied six ropes to the center pylon and three apiece to each rear bow hook. 2002 MB Sports 190 with the legendary SB fuel injected Chevy.

Baller Taperflex Posted March 23, 2023 Baller Share Posted March 23, 2023 Back in the late '70's there was a guy on our lake with a Checkmate I/O that rode by my house pulling 8 skiers. He blew the horn and waved. We accepted the challenge. We rode around the lake collecting people, skis and ropes. We didn't even know some of these folks. We'd ride up to a dock and ask if they had a pair of skis and a rope. If so, we'd draft them. We pulled up 13 people(all adults) behind a 1978 Mastercraft with 4 people in the boat. It was a struggle, but we all got up. The guy in the Checkmate stopped in the middle of the lake and just watched. He never came back to our lake again. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibrain Posted March 23, 2023 Baller Share Posted March 23, 2023 I’ve posted before but we had 8 up (tried 9) behind 150hp outboard. Mix of med-sized adults and a couple jr high kids. Yeah it was a long drag.  3 kids behind 20hp. Ages 7, 9, 10. 14’ tiller-steer MiroCraft. Hull prob weighed only 175#.  Did that for a couple summers before we got too big.  6 years my dad REALLY upgraded to a 13’ Whaler. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ScarletArrow Posted March 23, 2023 Author Baller Share Posted March 23, 2023 This pull was with a 2015 MC Prostar with over 2,000 hours on it. Last year we did it with a 2012 SN 200. In both instances you need absolute full throttle. You can hear and feel the prop churn, and the pylon - let's just say, "oh my!" We were less successful last year - re: about half the kids were on slalom skis and, of course, they were younger and not as experienced. It's an operation, finding enough skis, ropes and handles and transporting it all through the mountains for this one ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller B_S Posted March 23, 2023 Baller Share Posted March 23, 2023 10 or 11, off the dock for ski club practice. I prefer to keep it to 8 or under due to wear and tear on the boat. Here are a couple examples. The partially built pyramid ended in a very big BOS a split second after the pic (no injuries). That's my fearless daughter on top in both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BrennanKMN Posted March 24, 2023 Baller Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) I have done 7 behind and 2 in before on my old 1997 SN. It was sure riding low heading out to the deeper water with 9 adults and skis on board! The hardest part is finding enough people and trying to keep the ropes untangled!  Edited March 24, 2023 by BrennanKMN 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GregHind Posted March 24, 2023 Baller Share Posted March 24, 2023 Most I’ve pulled behind my boat was 13. Have also pulled 154 out of the water once but lost 9 before we all got everything under control, but that wasn’t my boat! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
