Do any of you pull wakeboarders, skiers, or 'tubes behind your boats? If so, which boat do you have, and how does it do. Thanks!

yes to all questions asked.....we have a DCB MACH22 with a outboard. Great ski boat..no wake at all. Great for tubing, Good for wakeboarding.....as long as you dont want a wake. What are you looking to get?

I have a buddy that will sell me his Mach26, but I'm considering a deck boat too, maybe a Conquest.

I've towed tubes ,wake boarders, skiers. It will keep a plane down to ~17-18 mph. 496HO is plenty to get out of the hole. Oh ya, it will still do 70mph when needed.

A cat will do fine as long as the X dimension isn't too high and you use a low pitch prop. When they're setup for big top end, then they don't like to stay on plane at wakeboarding speed. Trim tabs should help too.

Yes to all. I have a Force Offshore 29'. Just recently started pulling skiers. It works out very good, it is the fastes plaining cat. This way you don't have to slam the stick and worry about the drive holding together. I skied behind it for the first time yesterday, and I was very impressed.
