First of all, welcome to the forum - like me, I'm sure you will find it extremely useful.

Not sure of the exact capacity of the tow ring, but I tow two tubes all the time plus have a Mega Slice 4 person tube that is huge and it tows this no problem. I can verify that your tow rope will break first! :lol:

HAHA mostly just curious my buddy has the same thing and he was told to never use it, only for water skiing... and the dealer told me to get one of those tube ropes you use on the two tow eyes on the back but the swim plat form is water level so that wont work either... its only for pulling tubes

aussie answered my question thanks for the reply!

Welcome aboard!
Nice Boat..... I do not think you need to wary on towing 3 tubes on that thing.... Just do not tow tube from tower.... that is No No..

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 always thought the tower was fine for pulling skiers.....the dealer told you different?.....not that it matters...I got a set of comp skis that only get wet when I wash them....everybody either knee or wakeboards and at end of day we tube.....now the kiddo is wanting to wake surf.....I'm sure those are free.

Nice looking ride and welcome.....take some pics of the rear platform...I think the 2012 are much larger then mine....one of the better upgrades for sure.

TX H210... Are you considering letting your kid wake surf behind your H210???

Not until I research what it is all about.....I don't know much about it really....my boy is 14 and thinks he is bullet proof si I have to look into it. Do you know anything about it? He spends most of the day wakeboarding when at the lake.

No surfing behind an I/O, the drive and prop are too close and dangerous to be where the surfboard is. Search Youtube for wakesurfing and you'll find people only surfing behind inboards.

Also, the rear tow point is more than strong enough for a three person tube. I've pulled a three and a two person tube with mine without issue (all adults).

yes!! Welcome!

Robb is correct TX H210....some horrific accidents from hands first into the prop. Basically you are surfing the wake about 10 feet behind the transom. All is good until the boat slows and they ride up on the prop. I wouldn't do it even with my boat and platform being at water level. If he wants something new, shorten the wake board rope to about 20 feet an trim the boat heavily. He can have all the fun at a safe distance

10 feet behind the boat!!!! What the hell....i can put the holdemups on that idea for sure....I may need to let him in a little closer but nowhere near ten feet....he has a three section rope he has been wanting to bring down to two for a little more wake...guess this is the year cuz he has been having to really hop to get much air at all that far back.

With-in 10 feet behind boat you should wary about breathing exhaust fume which is a big concern of wake surfing. Specialty Boat such as Centurion Enzo or Elite has right exhaust set up and independent ballast to create perfect wake going 8 to 12 mph...... Winnisquam guys sells Centurions and saw they are in action a numbers of times.... They are bugging me to go out and try wake surfing..... Maybe I will try it this summer..

wake surfing is amazing, we try to do it weekly on my friends boat. I suggest starting out on like a 6ft surfboard, we can get anyone up on one. Once you get better you can move into a smaller purpose built wake surfing board.
