Can a 85HP pull a skier on a 24'? I bought some training skis, regular skis, 2 person tube & 1 person tube. Being this is my first boat I just don't know what I can do with it. Thanks!!

I've got a 24' with a 90hp and can pull a skier with 7 people in my boat with no problems. You should be fine!

I didn't have the speed at the time, but I wasn't breaking any speed records. I pulled my wife out of the water pretty easily. However, a friend of ours (appx 215-220lbs) was a little wobbly with passengers in the boat.
