2008 challenger 180se speed

[terrye]

When I have 6 people on the boat it wants to cavitate when hammering the throttle while pulling a tube and when I go into a turn it just wont keep up any speed ,the boat only has 8 hours on it do I have to much weight because when its just my wife and I pulling my boys on a tube it dosent do that! mine runs 54 mph flat out with 4 200 lbs guys on it but tubing it seam like it just doesnt have the b@lls you need !

Tubing will reduce your overall speed anyway. Because you are increasing your drag in the water. Get a towing ball it makes a big difference when pulling a tube. Plus 6 people in the boat even if they are only 100 pounds each thats still a extra 400 pounds in the boat now that wasnt there when it was just you/wife pulling kids.. that will make a difference as well.

I think the grate looses some bite when you turn sharply too.

 

[WOOSAB]

I think so too.. Because when you turn sharply the boat goes on 1 side of the v. The obviously the side that is raised the grate comes out the water some and you lose some of the water suction.. Not a fact just what i believe happens....

... Get a towing ball ...

I never heard of this and a Google search could not find it, search "booster ball" and you'll find it.
