i gotta know
 
Safety aside, what's the fastest you've witnessed or pulled a tuber behind a boat.

Ha ha. I hit 70mph (Straight line) once but rooster tail started to hit tube so backed off. They where still on and $hitting themselves but!

I'm thinking with a loooong rope to dodge the brunt of the roost I'm gonna try and get one over the 80mph mark.... I got a buddy that's game.

We pulled a guy 74 on a knee board off the back of a severly overpowered bass boat once. Kid still hasnt been the same.

I used to be a knee board juggernaut! 74 might have pushed my limit tho!

I was a fat kid and couldnt pull myself up on a Knee board, but my love handles could grip a tube better than anyone else so it equalled out.

LOL

I like where this is going..... :evilb:

About 8 years ago behind a 29 Fountain I had a friend + 2 ski ropes tied together + knee board. 1 sharp turn at about 50mph later and all sorts of funny **** happened. :lolhit:

Please share th outcome of your findings.

We pulled a friend in true 3' chop with 4' holes in Long Island Sound for a few minutes at about 25 mph. Wound up getting stitches in the hospital...a bloody mess. I think that was fast enough lol.
