Does anyone know the capacity of the ski tow on the 1998 Horizon 200? Just curious if I will be ok to pull a two person tube with it? Some people have recommended using the two ubolts at the stern of the boat. Any advice on this?

I've used two tubes for 5 years on my 18' maxum, as well as the new boat for a full season. Never had any issues just using the normal tow loop. I did check about once per season to make sure the bolts were tight (found 'em loose once).

I've pulled 3 fat, sloppy dudes on a triangle tube using the ski eye - never had any problems at all, unless a grown man crying like a little baby when I swing him out wide is a problem.

Pulling behind my '98, I hope this answers your question:

Other than burning $4.50/gallon gas faster than if you were to light it on fire, it pulled fine.

we would ski 4 and tube 4 behind my dad's previous 1988 205 Sundowner on the ski ring with no issues...


except rope burn from jumping tubes over one another and attempting physically take each other out :mrgreen:

Looks like you got your answer, but I've had 3 tubes behind my boat many times. Had 2 skiers up at once few times too. And that's with just a little ol 4.3L
