That looks good and probably works great. Look at all that room.. You could have a party in there (chicks and beer)...:lolhit: I'll have to look, tonight,,, with twins and my switchable exhaust tips and this and that I'm lucky if I can fit my hand anywhere in there.. Spark plugs 3-1/2 hrs WTF

I have skied behind my boat before and learned a few things real quick. You don't want to ski faster than about 25 or 30. That being said, I found a pair of 17" aluminum props on the cheap just for skiing and tubing. I run full tabs to keep the bow down but man...this old 'bird throws a hell of a wake at 20~25 mph. I ended up building a 100 ft tow rope that works great and gets you out of the prop wash. With the 17" props I have no problem pulling up 2: 200 lb plus men on one ski...I mean snaps them right up:evilb: We do ocean skiing on smooth days...it's really kool to be running along 25 mph in 30' of water looking at the bottom!!

Never have towed anything other than another boat, for that reason alone. I thought OP wanted ideas, this was on the 271 when I bought. But as others said a 100 ft rope would help tremendously.
