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.

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 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.

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.

I'll do what it takes to get on the water. I've skied behind almost anything. Sometimes you need to get creative. In college at 6'3" 265 I skied behind my uncle's 17 ft line with a 40 HP evinrude with three adults in it. I was riding an old Sears and Roebuck ski that had washed up on the beach using an old broom handle tied to a piece of rope that was used primarily to tie up the dog. They had to do a half circle around me to get the boat planed off so it could pull me up.
These days it's mostly my stars and stripes, neighbors SAN 210, or buddies Supra. I guess I've gotten spoiled. When we get back to Michigan both of my brothers run pro stars, so that's always a decent trip.

It's nuts around here, almost 80% of the greater metropolitan area is without power and won't get it back until mid to end of week!
Folks are waiting in LONG lines for gas. Thankfully I had almost a full tank in my prostar so I'm
siphoning to avoid the fuel lines!

I guess I'm spoiled lately. I have access to slalom pulls behind a 2012 CC 200 and a '08 BU Response. For wakeboard a Supra 22V or a Supreme 226 (I actually prefer this boat for surfing, it's dynamite!)

I ski behind a 2004 Ski Nautique 206 SE. Every other outing.
Two-ski'd behind a Wellcraft 200 before I got my MC. I pulled the arse of that thing all over the place.... Not a real pull.
