My poor boat
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. |

Maybe shade it to the stern and then guy off diagonals to the stern corners. |

Most I have seen are about 4 feet above the deck, probably to keep the rope up out of the water. Just my guesses. |

True wakeboard towers are tall enough to stand under, and mounted so the tow line is pretty close to the middle of the boat. Really good wakeboarders can get some serious height doing tricks off the huge wake the dedicated boats make, so the line needs a high attachment point. Do a google or bing search on "wakeboard tower" and you'll see what I mean. You'll probably be fine with a ski pylon... something like this: http://www.barefootskiandwake.com/Pr...412_p_155.html It'll get the line up some, and make getting up and skiing or wakeboarding more fun. |

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. That might be your wish but I would like to see it return to a robust boating community that one could be proud to be a part of. Too much of Krause has rubbed off on you. That's really sad. It's always really funny when the right-wing slimeballs act righteous and holier than thou and then drop off yet another of their petty insults. Keep on keeping on, "Jim," and help assure the demise here. You have declared it dead already. I would like to see it rise up out of your ashes. If that were the case, "Jim," you might consider behaving the way you think the newsgroup ought to be, instead of behaving like every other right-wing asshole here. Right? I agree with this post! Wouldn't it be easier for uou if you told us which of Harry's posts you disagree with? |

It's okay, according to Harry, that's how the English language works, make it up as you go along! That's what y'all southern boys have been doing for hundreds of years. |

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. |
