Need 140 or 150hp with skiers and have it propped for "hole-shot" and not top end speed. You can have a second prop for speed if you want or vice versa, aluminum props are inexpensive while stainless may be a couple-few hundred dollars.

I take my Bay out in 4' or less seas staying close in trolling and as far out as 40 miles 1-2' seas with 4-5 wave seconds. Bays, rivers, lakes no problem. Trailer 5-600miles to the Gulf Coast and back, then to the lake for skiing with the family. Have towed with a Tahoe and Alvalanche no problem, others use smaller vehicles....I feel best having a tow rating of 5k min considering the weight of gas, passengers and ice chests, etc.

Plunder thru the General and 190 forum and if you have any specific questions don't hesitate to post.
