You can tow a skier behind a personal watercraft (PWC) when it is legally permitted in your area, which typically requires the PWC to be equipped with a proper tow rope and a competent observer to watch the skier. Additionally, the PWC must have enough power and capacity to safely tow the skier without endangering their safety or that of others. It's essential to adhere to local laws and regulations regarding towing activities to ensure safety on the water.
In Georgia, you can not tow a skier without an observer. So the answer is none.

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.

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.

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.
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- an operator, an observer, and the skier
If you use a PWC to tow a skier or person on a tube, the PWC has to be equipped with mirrors or you will need a spotter over the age of 12. The person being towed counts towards the capacity of the PWC. (If you have a spotter and are pulling one person, you would need a PWC rated for three (3) people.)
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.
