Looking to traded my 14.75 with a 30 hp fishing boat for a 16.5 with a 90 hp.
Is that big enough to pull a skier or tube? Don't what to go much bigger
so I can get it in the back of the garage.

A 16 with a 90 is how most people skied when I was a kid. I'll do fine, unless you're trying to be really fancy or competitive.

I'd think that would work fine. I had a 15 ft fish-n-ski with a 90, it had plenty of power to pull skiers, wakeboarders, etc. It was kinda' marginal for deep water starts with a slalom ski though, but I think part of that was due to skier technique.

I've seen people ski and wake board on a lot less so I think you will be fine.

We had a 16ft lund with a 25 that would pull a 200lb skier. The 90 will def work.
