Towing Get Towing: Tow sports look like so much fun. So what do you really need to take part? It all starts with your boat. + The first thing you need is enough horsepower. After all, you don’t want your towee to spend all their time drinking lake water just trying to get up. Starcraft offers runabouts, deck boats and pontoons that have more than enough power to keep skiers a float. + Your boat also must be able to turn effectively. This is especially true when pulling knee or wakeboarders. Today, even our pontoons offer surprising agility and performance, making them more versatile than ever. + You also need a tow ring or wake tower. Available as a standard or optional feature on many of our boats. This means they fit your boat perfectly because they’re added during production rather than as an afterthought. + You can’t tow without a rope. A standard tow rope is 70’ long and made of polypropylene for elasticity. The handle may vary in length and diameter. Be sure to choose one that can be easily gripped by everyone in the family. + While not vital, swim platforms or at least a rear entry boarding ladder add efficiency. After completing a few turns around the lake, skiers and boarders will certainly appreciate not having to struggle to get aboard. And it’s always easier for children to get in and out. + Storage compartments, especially roomy in-floor lockers, keep skis, boards, vests and ropes off the deck and safely out of the way.
+ If you like the fun
of inflatables, a small, 12-volt air pump is a good idea to keep
onboard, as well.
