You are towing a skier with a PWC and have an observer on board. How many people must the PWC be rated to carry?
At least 3
At least 3- an operator, an observer, and the skier
A PWC towing a skier must be rated for at least three people: the operator, the skier, and an observer. It is important to have an observer on board to watch the skier and communicate with the operator in case of an emergency.
The PWC must be rated for at least three people when towing a skier. This ensures that there are enough seats for the operator, the skier, and an observer to monitor the skier during the activity.

It depends on the boating laws in the state you're in but typically you need a seat for the driver, spotter, and skier. Therefore the PWC would need to leagally be registerd to seat 3 persons.
3 people or at least in Arkansas that is what it has to be
In Georgia, you can not tow a skier without an observer. So the answer is none.
You don't. The RX is not a three-person PWC, so you can't tow a skier. You need a driver, an observer (to watch the skier and tell the driver if they are in distress), and a skier. That's three people. By law, the skier counts as an occupant of the craft. By law, you must have an observer on the PWC so the driver can concentrate on driving.
