OK. I have a 60hp motor and my friends want to waterskii but the boat I
have is what I have. I told them the same things. Thanks guys.

You might be able to ski anyway if you can find a pair of longer,
wider skiis somewhere. It might also help to go with a lower pitched
prop.

I have a 60 on a pontoon boat with a 14 7/8 x11 prop
I wouldn't want to ski behind it.

Certainly not the ski boat of choice, everyone would agree. On the
other hand you can ski behind almost anything that will get on plane
if the skiis are big enough and the skiier is something less than NFL
linebacker material.

Unless that little fellow just can't seem to get up on the skis...
Sigh...
