Has anyone who has a baycat used it for sking? Have tried to use the Jaguar for sking and it does just ok for small kids only, how have you set up the big cat for pulling skiers out of the water? JRK55

The boat does a fine job and pulls well. The propeller selection is not for top end, and thus you can tweak it to fit your needs. We did have a pattern for a tower, though it was expensive for a custom wakeboard tower. The best option there is Monster Tower (.com) and they probably could hook you up for less, and it could be taken down as well for fishing in cooler months. There are a couple out there that have done this, and Rick used the first prototype for his family all one summer so he may pop in about it later. BCB

1st question about the jag is what prop are you using if you are only able to pull kids. my 93 tidecraft with 150 force pulled my 260# rear out of the water like it was nothing. using 21 pitch high5

For now all I have done is add a ski tow bar, still running a 25 trophy Plus. Have no idea what prop to use or where to start, any advice? Who has set up a Jag for sking? JRK55

25 High Five, or you can go to a 24 Fury for multi use.

JRK55 I have pulled pull toys with my current bass boat (Cougar FTD 225 Opti) and my previous bass boat (Baker Custom Tunnel 200 EFI). I use/used a High Five for both. Its no big deal to swap props before heading out, and I rarely need to worry about racing at tournament blast off top speed on the same outing when I am towing the kids around the lake. Besides… I dont know to many people who have the skills to ski at 65MPH. I usually pull the tubes and other pull toys at about 35-40 max. When I was a kid I skiied as well as I could at those speeds. Heck, most of my dads boats only ran that fast anyway.–Bob La Londe Forums, Free Lures, Product Reviewswww.YumaBassMan.com CNC Molds N Stuffwww.CNCMOLDS.com
