Try somthing like this instead
http://www.towdster.com/We made our version of these when we had our Seadoo's:
- 1/2" thin-wall PVC pipe (you can sometimes find a 3/8" PVC pipe in Home Depot)
- Foam pool noodles
- 1/4" - 3/8" rope
- whatever style of clamp-hook you desire
Use two pieces of the pool noodle to make up the length you want. (We made ours to 10' long). Cut the PVC about 2" shorter (on each side) than the overall length of the noodle (if you want a 10' length, cut the PVC down to 9'-8"). This allows the rope to be pulled tight against the noodle when completed. Slide the rope inside of the PVC, then slide the pVC inside of the noodle. Tie the hooks onto either end stretching the rope while you tie the hooks on. When you're done, just hook up to your boat, hook onto your PWC, clamp off you water pick-up line, and tow away! And yes these will float.
Our friends have a pontoon and we would tie the Seadoo's to the pontoon when we would all stop and have lunch. Sort of like a floating island. The noodles and PVC will allow this to bend and flex but will always push the PWC out away from the boat. That way you don't have to worry about wakes pushing them into the boat.
