"Persons being towed on any device
must wear a Type I, II or III PFD. Boats
(including personal watercraft) towing
skiers must have, in addition to the operator
of the boat, an observer 12 years
of age or older or a wide angle rearview
mirror mounted so that the operator can
check on the skier but still give full attention
to traffic ahead. There must be
adequate seating for all riders.
Skiing behind the Titanic would be treacherous no matter how many observers you have..
The last statement in im4daducks about the seating points out out the frequent violation amoung PWC's pulling a towable. PWC's are only rated for 3
passengers. With the driver, observer, and more than one person on the towable puts the activity in violation. PWC mirrors are NOT in compliance and
do not qualify as "wide angle" ski mirrors. Unless you fabricate a mount to place a ski mirror, the PWC must have an observer.
Thanks for the good info im4daducks and Nearly Satisfied.
Did you know they like to water ski race in other parts of the world.
Strange! You would think the winner would be the guy with the faster boat. Up to 120mph on skies!
