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.
