Question

Are Pontoon boats used for water skiing?

Answer 1

no man they are too slow most of the time

Answer 2

bad choice. o.k. for tubing.

Answer 3

Yes they can be, I can get up behind my pontoon it's a 24ft with a 90hp on it and it pulls me just fine either on two skis or slalom and I not a little guy either (6' 3''  185lbs). But that being said I wouldn't say it's the ideal boat for water skiing.

Answer 4

Nope. Too slow and then when you have to go get the person after they fall or are done it takes a while...

Answer 5

You can use them although the wake is lame, and they don't go very fast.  It can take a while to get up on the skies considering a pontoon's acceleration is poor.  I have seen it been done.  You would need a 100 hp engine or greater on it though.

Answer 6

its all about your prop and the way you enegin is tunned.
