[quote Tin-Can]Pat, you starting out the season being a crusty old codger? [sly] Yea, faster and further, but I can't (and wouldn't even if I could) tow a skier. Towed in several broke down boats of many types (yep, even ski boats). Heck man, I'd even be willing to tow you in if needed [

[#0000FF]Hey, I have been codgerized for some time now. Just older and crustier each year.
The thing about the skier is a line I use when folks come up and make comments about my tricked out tube. I say "Yeah, it fishes purty good, but I cain't tow a water skier."
Hope I never need your towing services. I did need a tow once on Jordanelle...before I added a motor to my tube. Got caught downwind from my launch spot when a hellacious wind came up. Would you believe that a boat named "Mariah" tossed me a rope and pulled me to safety? (See pic)
On the flip side, I have helped tow powerless power craft back the dock a couple of times...when they wouldn't start. Also got to tow in a guy's canoe that the wind blew away when his knot came undone at the dock. Both times with no motor. Super codger legs at work.
Since I added my motor I often toss a rope to fellow tubers (without motors) and give them an assist when it is a long way back to the vehicles.
Heck, I'd even tow you if you broke down on the water. But with all your preparation I doubt you will need my services.
