Tow Rope Bar?

#1 Post by beermunk » Sun Jun 21, 2009 5:16 pm

Hey all!

We've really been enjoying our toon. This weekend was the first attempt at tubing behind it and I found a slight hiccup. I'm towing the tube with the u bolts on near the IO. It works okay but the line goes into the wake and creates drag. So I am unable to get the tube riders out of the wake on turns to get a good whip going.

I'm wondering if anyone knows what I could buy to get the rope out off the back of the boat and higher in the air. We have the triple toon with the I/O on it. Any suggestions?

Also - has anyone had any experience with the "Booster Ball?" It's a small inflatable that goes between the boat and the towable that is supposed to keep the line out of the water.

Glad your having fun but without pics we don't believe you.
