300/440/550 pulling?

[Jcraig]

will it hurt a js 300 to pull a child in a tube behind it? just wondering if it will be too much of a strain on the motor?

 

[jamesgunter68]

seems like it would be quite a challenge

 

[mattchow88]

you will probably overwork the engine And possibly overheat it

Ha that ski can barely has enough power to pull someone out of the water. If you do pull a tube please take vids I want to see that.

Lol, I have a 300 SX and it is fun. Despite what others say at 190 pounds I have don't have a difficult time getting to plain and it doesn't take 45 seconds like some say it does.

On the other hand, I don't think it would be too easy to plain out of the water with addition drag. It's not necessary the child's weight, it's the drag. Not to mention, in most states what you are wanting to do is illegal.

Prob wouldn't be overly exciting for the child because all he/she would say is "Go Faster". But hell, who cares, try it.

Or just go buy a 4-stoke and be a super cool coucher.

My dad use to pull me all the time with our 300 when I was like 10. I'm sure it was a dog and the ski struggled, but as far as I can remember 10+ yrs later it was fun haha
