Depending on the weight of the skier and the number of skis used, you can waterski at half that speed.

For a full-sized adult, it's "work", but it's still done and enjoyed by thousands. In considering the full history of the sport, perhaps enjoyed by millions!

But then it gets really odd...APS links to Les Hall's comments from what appears to be an out of state cruiser forum talking about speed limits.

Another boater more savvy than I am said it much better than I have, but let's not go there.
What has that got to do with pulling a water skiier? Anything to muddy the waters heh APS?
