It will support two tubes I'm sure, but why????? Consider this...you have two or three tubes working with kids in all if them....one kids flips and is treading water....you go up and make a turn and kiddo #2 falls off....you got two kids in the water at different places ans boats are coming....which kid do you want to leave hung out.

That's why I asked...not saying you aren't in control of things, but I have pulled up and blocked for several kids dropped my multiple tube boats cuz they have had more than one in the water.

I dont have kids and likely wont be towing many of them, i prefer battling against the guy in the other tube... where i boat everyone has there on spot no overlapping...

so many posts thanks guys!!!

i also bought a wake surf for the first time havn't used it. thw swim plate form is water level and the breakover seems to be far enough back... didnt think of exhaust fumes though...

keep in mind the 2012 h210 has been completely redesigned compared to previous models

not my boat but you get the idea of the swim plate form... it would be even lower with the trim up sucking the back end down at the low speed for wake surfing...

You don't wake surf with a stern drive.

end of discussion.

RULE #1: Only wake surf behind inboard boats

Never wakesurf behind an outboard, stern drive, or inboard/outboard boat. If you can see the boat's propeller, you may not surf behind that boat. If you break this rule, you may die or lose arms or legs. If you see someone breaking this rule, tell them to stop. Invite them out on your boat. Click on the skull and crossbones to see a picture of a hand chewed up by a propeller.

i wakesurf behind mine, just run the rope out 15-20 or so and play on the wake. even if i was stupid enough to come up close to the stern my little 19' won't put out a big enough wake to actually surf without the rope any how, so we stay back out of harms way. even wakeskate at that distance as well. makes for some different fun.

as for the tubes, nothing like tube wars!!! we've ran 3 behind my boat quite a few times, 1 guy on each tube. super fun!!!

very nice looking boat by the way!

I understand the redesign issue....and realize the platform is lower and wider.......but......part of that redesign did away with the inset of the drive unit.....in short your drive is really just as close to the outer edge of the platform as earlier models.....at least not enough difference in that regard to measure.

Hellasnow. What lake are you on. That photo looks like shadow mountain?

As for the redesign, it is he Same as ours...I won't even consider it. Picture this...you're surfing 10 feet back, driver has to slow for some reason..you will run up on the platform in a split second...then what, ou are 3 feet from a duo prop!

We've been tubing for years. It sounds crazy, but we've had 7 tubes running off the back of our neighbors 18' with the 4.3. I've had 3 full adults behind mine already

Trev, love that tower on your boat. Is that OEM? Would love to get one for my 220.
