    That's what it's all about! Mentally I've drawn the line at dropping a ski behind my in-laws pontoon, but not saying I wouldn't do that in order to get out!

      Growing up on a lake in Mississippi we would ski behind anything with a motor just to be out on the lake. Eventually we got a nautique and i think we taught or pulled every kid in town behind that boat. It's amazing what the right equipment can do. My 8 and 5 year old both popped up like a cork first time out on the boom. I never would have been able to do that at that age being drug behind our family's 18ft Starcraft.

        Have ridden trick skis behind a 24 ft pontoon with a 50 HP Force. Met some guys last week with a pontoon they got free off craigslist. No registration or motor, not even a paddle. They were planning to row out on the lake using snow shovels. Again, whatever it takes to get on the water.

            I learned to ski and barefoot behind a 16ft 90 hp outboard. My mom had a copy of waterski magazine and helped me to barefoot dropping a kneeboard. That was in 1985.

              Learned to ski behind a 14 foot runabout with 35 hp Johnson.

              Getting ready to spend a week at my folks house in Southern NM where my Dad has a 17 foot with a 140 hp I/O. The hardest part is staying patient on deep water slalom start.

                  I learned to ski behind a 21' Tri-hull Thunderbird with a 115 Evinrude. Over the years I've skied behind various Whalers, Bayliners, Sea Rays, aluminum boats, bass boats, and pontoon boats. I ride on anything just to get out on the water. Since mine is a work in progress, the wife and I bought a cheap canoe to get out on the lake in.
