I've pulled two skiers off my 1 ski eye on my boat. 2 double skiers probably don't put the strain on a transom like a tuber does. But then again, I've pull 2 tubes as well. Just take it easy, and everything will be fine, I wouldn't worry.

Re: How to pull multipull tubes and skis

Hi Kyle,

I have pulled three tubes from my ski tow eye on my 06 Glastron SX 175 for three years now with no problems, also three wakeboarders.

My Buddy Ralph has pulled 13 wakeboarders behind his 19' 6" fiberglass boat with a 350 cubic inch in it. He does this once a year, going from camp site to camp site to gather boarders, the whole lakeside community shows up to watch and help.

He uses his ski tow eye and his two cleats on the back of his boat. When he gives it gas the boat will hardly move. Some of the kids pop out of the water at what seems to be a crawl, then the boat can accelerate a little better, then more kids can pop up and so on. I have pictures and will post some time(if I can figur out how to).
