Absolulty you should be able to ski behind this. I've pulled two people
behind my old 15 ft bassboat with a 70 hp and it wasn't too tough.
Somethings not right, motor or weight distribution, or trim.

Help! We recently bought a 1996 Chris Craft Concept 17 'Fish n Ski'
boat. It has a 115 HP Outboard motor on it. I've had the motor fully
serviced.

Yesterday we were trying to pull a 140lb skier on it. The boat really
struggled to pull the skier out the water. We had two other people in
the boat - both weighing about 220lbs each. The gas tank was about 1/2
full.

If the boat is undersized or if its some technique that we are doing
wrong - - I'd appeciate the feedback.
