    Tow rope for pulling a tube

    Going to start pulling a tube behind my skeeter and was wondering what tow rope to use. I know they sell the tower that will go into to the hole for the back seat, but I don't want to spend that much money. Thanks for the advice in advance

    I use a "Y" harness with the pulley roller set-up. Attatch to the tie-down eyes. Make sure the "Y" harness floats.

    My 99 zx has no tie downs on the back. i have to hook my trailor straps to my 10 in jack plate. so i got one of those poles and it was expensive but it works great. But i dont pull more than two kids just to make sure it can handle it.

    Get you one of these. Been using it for several years.

    I also use the booster ball that's on the right side column on Wildkat7's cabelas link. Didn't get it through cabelas(think ebay) but it does a great job of keeping the rope out of the water which allows the tube to move freely behind the boat and keeps the water out of your eyes.
