To successfully pull a skier, a boat typically needs to go at a speed of about 15 to 20 miles per hour (24 to 32 kilometers per hour). This speed allows the skier to maintain balance and achieve optimal performance on the water. However, the exact speed can vary based on the skier's skill level, weight, and type of skiing being performed. It's important for the boat driver to adjust speed according to the skier's needs and safety.

A 40 hp engine might suffice for lighter skiers and calm waters, while a 60 hp engine would provide better performance and stability in various conditions. Always ensure the boat is rated for the engine size and consider safety and comfort when selecting horsepower.
Can a 115 hp outboad motor pull up a skier?
Yes, a 115 hp outboard motor can typically pull up a skier, especially if the skier is relatively lightweight and the boat is designed for towing.

However, factors such as the weight of the boat, the number of passengers, and water conditions can affect performance. Ensuring the boat is within its weight capacity and the skier is skilled can enhance the towing experience.
