"FRDXPLORER: Just Sold, can you really not pull skiers at 45 MPH? "

I never said that. That was an e-mail comment from one of my local state reps. When I was younger and still waterski'd we never needed big HP to get up on the ski's and it certainly was not at 45MPH but closer to 25 to 30 mph. We used a 35hp Evinrude on a 1955 15' Lyman with rear seat steering for quite a few years before moving up to an inboard 19' Lyman (1959) w/109HP Grey Marine engine. By the way our boat was the "ELBO" for Eleanor and Bob, my parents.
