    Actually yes...the Mythbusters confirmed this myth some time ago. It was Tory who did it...with no problem.

    Depends on howmuch horsepower the ship had. Takes some effort to get a person out of the water.

    That would be one of the few boats where the captain truly could not feel the skier putting extra drag on the boat.

    They really don't have much holeshot power. Think you could hold on for an hour or so while you come up to speed?

    LMAO! I could just picture this!

    I guess you could..But what would you attach the ropes to? And it would go kinda slowly..

    & then on top of that, who would allow it??
