hello, can i just tie off a rope from the "seat handle" or should i mount a ski rope cleat? if i need to add a cleat, where do you recommend? thanks a lot.
Sorry I can't resist , as I said in the other thread where you asked about the ski pylon , there is nothing on that ski to attach a pylon to , actually I can't think of any other two man ski other than an HX that has less to attach to in the rear of the ski , I don't know of any better way to put it , you have the wrong ski for what you are attempting to do , simple as that.Sorry, feel like I did a bad thing in asking. I know how to use the eyehooks on either side, port and starboard, and used a center tie, to make it pull from the center. Been a speed boat guy for 30 years, with 100 mph padded v hulls. I was asking about how to set the rope up to pull from higher angle. So, I could add a pylon, as I have done a lot of glass work for 30 years, replaced transom, floors, cores and blueprints race hulls. I was just trying to see if you guys had a recommendation on best way to have the rope come off the hull higher up . Also I am in tennessee. I don't need a spotter if I have a mirror. Thx a lot
The first half of my response was sarcasm.............. There is alot of that here, but everyone here are great guys and will help you out, even with some ribbing. But the send part does really fit your situation. That ski is just not one that is conducive to pulling. If you tied to the rear seat handled, every time the skier pulled back, the seat will probably compress (The shock)........ "Now that said. The XP is a 2 man craft (This is a stretch calling it a 2 man PWC), For you to pull a skier, Intertuber, Zip Sledder, etc, you would need a spotter sitting behind you. Now the catch, In most states, to do this, you would need to have room for the person in the water to board the PWC........... Remember the part about calling an XP barely a 2 seater............... So, yeah, This is not the best option..........."Sorry, feel like I did a bad thing in asking.
