XP question

[Chris Broderick]

I have a 2001 XP and want to know if you can tow and wakeboarder or tube from the rings on the back of the XP?


Thanks Chris.

You could pull a tube, I've done it w/ mine. But most states have laws that you need someone riding on the Seadoo w/ you watching the tuber in case anything happens.
I'm sure you have noticed that the Xp's suck with two people on them. One person is awesome though. Even pulling a tube was kinda tricky turning and everything until you get a feel for it.
I haven't tried pulling a wake board but it would probably be even harder.

Ok,

I just wanted to make sure that the metal rings themselves could handle the stress.

Thanks Chris.

Yeah they should hold depending on how much the person weighs.

Weight?......

:agree: with nswillin. The ring will probably hold. But if you do intend to pull someone with it, I think I'd put a backer plate on it, just in case.

If you have someone on a tube, with constant drag, probably o.k., but if you pull a wake, knee or ski..........anything that can build up huge drag, it may get pulled out.

Put a backer plate on and be safe. I'd hate to hear you come in, looking on how to repair fiberglass.:cheers:
