You can pull a skier at around 17ktns so even with a smallish outboard (25hp) on a dinghy its possible.
This question depends on the type of boat you have. Normally as long as your boat can do around 25+ mph you should be able to pull a skier out of the water. So if you have a 18ft boat with a 115hp depending on the weight of the boat you will be able to tow a skier out of the water.

Over 1 kilowatt for sure!
Assume you are talking about a boat and a water skier. Yes it will work. I have been towed by a 35 HP outboard. It depends on the skill of the skier to be able to get up quickly. It also depends on the skis and the drag they cause while being pulled from the water.
A free jet boat.

The safest are for towing a jet skier is in a large, open are like the center of a lake. This reduces the risk of striking hidden objects and running into other boaters.
A second person in the boat. Known as a spotter.

Watch the skier
You should always have a spotter (not the driver) in the boat to assist in watching for hazards and keeping an eye on the skier. The driver needs to be alert about what is going on in front of the boat.
