=> Thanks for the advice. Since I paid so much for my ski's I surely want
=> to get some good use out of them. What type of tube do you have?
Just another word of advice :)
Get an incredably strong tube if you plan on pulling it with anything 
with some power..
We used an Obrien 2 place tube (very good make) pulled behind a SeaDoo 
Sportster (twin 90hp jets).
2 200 lb people in it, one overly tight corner, probably something in the 
area of 70mph at the end of the whip and before the 2 of us did the slide 
on concrete (felt like it anyway) the tube got shredded :)
In its defence, not exactly what they were built for and some serious 
sewing put it back together.  The bladder never let go (our almost did :) 
but the fabric casing was ripped right off it..
