I am sure that Renn Tolman, designer of the Tolman Skiff never
intended
his boats to be used for...........wakeboarding and I'm not even
sure
they
do such things in AK where he is from. However, my son has gotten
interested in wakeboarding and believe it or not my 20 Standard
Tolman
Skiff with 90 hp Yamaha does fairly well as a tow craft.
So far, we have simply rigged a simple bridle from the stern
cleats
but
now my son has assurred me that a "tower" will make her much more
useful
for wakeboarding and that I could probably make such a thing
easily.
Nothing like playing on Dad's natural desire to build stuff.
So, where on a boat should the attachment point be for towing a
wake
board? How high should it be?
Such an ignominous thing for such a noble craft that I intended to
be
used
for exploring. Monday, I was excited over exploring the "Crooked
River"
that runs into the Ocklocknee River of N. FL but the boys looked
bored
so
I gave in and we went back out of gator paradise to more open
water
for
them to play.
Still, it was day on the water.


At least it sees water...think of Snotties poor rowboat.
It sits there year after year, rotting away and only used by a
family
of critters as shelter.

You just had to be asinine.


Hi Swill......yes, you might call it 'the culture' of this newsgroup.
-------------------------------------------------
Nope, I just call it head up your ass stupidity by you.


Well, that's just the kind of attitude we need to improve the
newsgroup.
Were you always a jackass, Swill?

Unlike you I have a smart brain, and follow my own road, unlike you who
seems to have latched on to the Harry Train. Which is a **** poor train
to
ride.


Prove you "have a smart brain" and try working for the betterment of
the group instead of holding it back.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Show where I am holding the newsgroup back. Compare me to your postings.
As to smart, I have a lot higher IQ, probably a better university
education,
at least a better discipline of study, and have been much more financially
successful. All these show me to have a lot smarter brain than you.


So, here you are bragging how special you are but are crawling in the
gutter with the likes of me, Snotty, StinkyJim etc.
Yeah.....you're superior allright! SNERK!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most of the time I stay out of the gutter. As to you, rarely do you emerge.
