At Lake Shasta in northern California many years ago I was asked to be
the observer by the ski designer for O'Brien skis while he checked out
the latest sanding of a ski he was creating for the then well known
female skier whose name escapes me now. Commented to his with what
RPMs he wanted for each engine and away we went!

My Dad is looking at a twin engine (twin 260 hp) 25' boat. But he has one
major question? will he be able to take someone skiing behind a twin engine
boat? A bunch of people we have talked to say that you don't ski behind a
twin engine boat,

WHY? Is it a problem with the wake or just cost of fuel?

Since he has also looked at a few single engine bowriders what would be the
main advantage of the same size boat except twin engines? Disadvantages?

The twin engine boat is a Wellcraft 250 xl
