Question

Can you tube/wakeboard/waterski behind a thirteen-foot Boston Whaler?

Answer 1

It depends if the boat's back end will stay in place when skiing and wakeboarding. I have a 23 foot boat and I can feel the back end get pulled out a little while driving when 180lbs riders are carving hard.

Tubing yes.

That boat was just not made for skiing and wakeboarding.

Answer 2

Yes, you can tube quite fine. Lots of kids even tube behind slower moving Party Barges, too.

Wakeboarding might be a little more difficult as manuvering the board itself requires a little more speed.

Just make sure the towline clears the engine with no snags, and the length of the towline clears the initial engine wake.

Answer 3

yeah, i do it all the time when i go to my cottage up north.
