Hi guys, I have a question for some of you seasoned water-skiers. I am looking to buy a boat for some casual water-skiing...may look at an older boat...what is the minimum h.p. I need to be able to tow a skier (say, a 200 pound man)? Can I get by with a 50? or do I need at least a 60 or 70? I know that there are many variables involved, weight of skier, age of motor, hull design, etc. But your thoughts would be appreciated.
Another question, do you need more h.p. for slalom skiing? Or is it pretty much the same requirements as 2 skis.
Thanks for your help.
