You'll want 50 to 60 hp. Less than this it's harder to get out of the water. You can ski with a smaller engine such as a 40 hp but like I said it's a lot harder.

It depends on your height, weight, size, typical speed, and experience. You can see a size chart here:

In 3 horsepower how many amps needed?

3 amps on 120 volts is almost 1/2 hp. To be exact 0.48 hp, that's why I said almost 0.5 hp or 1/2 hp. So say you are thinking of buying a 3 amp grinder or table top sander and you want to know about how many HP (Horse Power) it is, the answer is 120 volts X 3 amps = 360 X 0.00134 = 0.4824 HP which is almost a 1/2 HP you can do the math from there if its a 6 amp motor then its almost a 1 HP motor or to be exact 0.4824 X 2 = 0.9648 also almost 1 HP. This is if you are on 120 volts. If you are on 110 or 125 volts its about the same.
