Default Donzi 38ZX planing

Dumbass question to satisfy the 'ol lady... Donzi 38ZX daytona, 600's, boxed bravos. Can I send high school aged boys behind this thing on a tube dragging tabs with the drives tucked? I think we probably will never do it but.... is it possible safely in open water?

It’s not ideal but there’s no reason why not.

I waterskied slalom occasionally behind this 41 footer with Cat diesels….

Other than if the drives are set with a high x-dim, it’ll be loud on a tube back there but I wouldn’t see why not. Tabs may create some spray if you have them fully tucked in but you can adjust those while running

Use a 100 foot line may help them get out of spray a bit

These were taken last Summer behind a Powerquest 340 Vyper. I have to keep the drives and tabs tucked in or the boat starts to go too fast.
