Is 90 hp enough for tubing. However if youre looking to please a pair of adult tubers with some speed and adrenaline youll need at least 90 HP upwards of 115 HP will work best. Categories Wakesurfing Post navigation. Tubing with a 90 Yes.
You will probably be hard pressed to hurt someone though. Smaller kids on 2 skis will probably pop out of the water ok if the pontoon isnt full of riders. The 90 will be enough for skiing and tubing.
I have one and it is enough to pull tubers and sking but as uyour kids grow older it will be a little slow for tubing. Get the largest engine you can put on it. Get a 115 if you can afford it.
To directly answer your question yes. You can absolutely pull a skier with 90hp- and easily at that. DO NOT USE A PYLON ON A TILLER.
A slack rope can and will wrap around your neck. Even with a shock tube you will get hit hard in the head. A 90 should be fine unless youve got a guy who can get deep in the course 36mph but then he probably wont want to ski behind your boat anyway.
For your desires Id recommend a boat at least 19 feet long 20 to 22ft. Would be better with a minimum of 220HP. You can skimp on power a bit and be OK for tubing and wakeboarding but an underpowered loaded boat will have a crummy hole shot and aggravate skiers.
With tubing you can get by with slower speeds but the boat needs to be able to maneuver or theres not much of a ride other than straight behind the boat. If grandpa and yes I am one just wants to drag the kids straight and their happy with that youll be ok with the 90 hp. A 90 horsepower motor can be enough to pull an 18 ft boat with a water skier behind.

To move that one foot in one second you need just 424-horsepower. The Dodge Viper with a curb weight of 3374 pounds 1530 kilograms needs just 613-horsepower to cover one foot in one second. Of course a car that can only cover a foot at a time is pretty useless.
Yep more than enough power. Though the boat might be a little light and the tube may pull the stern side to side if ya do the whip. I think you will be fine.
I had 50hp on a 17ft alumicraft did just fine was strong enough to pull skiers. See more info below. Im interested in buying a used pontoon boat for tubing and Im looking for recomendations on HP.
The length Im looking for is about 18-20. Im not looking to go 50 mph or anything just fast enough to have teenagers enjoy the ride. 150 HP 2013 Mercury Fourstroke with 15x15P SS Enertia Thanks Todd - 41 MPH at 5800 RPM light load.

The new rebel 1650 weighs close to my 2008 Lowe FM175 9 longer and I couldnt imagine having a 60 on it. Most outboards share the same block between 75 and 90 hp models. So you get about the same performance though the first 50-60 of the power band.
The higher horsepower models do not have the air restrictor installed and have an ECU that compensates for higher air flow with higher fuel rate. Thus the higher hp at max RPMs. High Pressure 60000 psi 02-0125SE 0621 90 Elbow.

You would need a 150HP to take full advantage of them. And yes there will be little difference in real world performance with the 115 compared to the 90 HP. The 90 HP is a gutsy little motor in itself.
Go for it 115. A pontoon boat with a 70 horsepower engine is plenty for tubing. At that level you might be able to get up on skis too but 90 HP will serve you much better.
After that the more HP in your engine the more adventurous you can get with your water sports. Its important to note these numbers are generalities. Motivated Seller Best Offer take it so i avoid paying storage before Oct 1st.
