Has anyone done any modifications in order to do tubing or wakeboarding on a Vista? I have a 268 that I just bought with 5.7L and was curious as to how you enjoy it with the cruiser. Thanks

Make yourself a bridel to hook up tow rope to. Attach bridel to transom D-rings on either side of out drive.
Enjoy!!!!

I use caribeaners between D-ring and bridel for quick assembly/tear down.

Better yet, get yourself a 3 man PWC/dingy, and use that for the tow boat. That's what we ended up with! Ski, tube, wakeboard, and play for the day on 10 gallons of fuel.
With the money I am saving on fuel, I hope to upgrade to that 33' vista!! :roll: :lol:

My son bought me a bridle for our 338 to try tubing. The weather has turned so maybe next year :( .

I think it would be a blast with older kids who really like big wakes.

Yeah it's a bit cold to try it now, but I may be on that tube next year to try it out haha. I guess I'm that older kid that you were speaking of..... :lol:

Wow, that sucks. Hope all is well. Glad I can help with the humor, although it probably hurts for you to laugh a bit....
