Can you ski or tube from a Nitro z-9?

[John Edmonds]

My son & I are ordering a z-9 in coming weeks & my wife is interested in skiing from it. I know this is a bass boat but wanted to know if there is anyone out there doing it?

What size motor are you getting on it?

Short answer is yes regardless of motor, its the rigging part of it.

My 929 worked for tubes but I would wager that skis would be difficult unless you rig the ski pole. I used the transom tie downs in the rear with a floating harness but the rope still drug in the water and I put a lot of strain on my motor trying to stay on plane and still go slow enough that I didn't launch the tube. My brother in law asked me 1 time to let her eat.....just 1 time.

if it's the deciding factor in letting you get the z9 for all you tournaments and bass fishing then I would say yes you can ski from it with the right prop. Though I woundn't want to do that to any bass boat. Something about it is just not right. lol

I do it all the time. I have an extra prop that works better since you need power, not speed. I use a 23P Trophy plus instead my regular 25P Tempest. I am never above 45ooRPM since I do not want to over rev the motor. If you are serious about doing it regularly, get a ski pole instead of using the tiedown hooks. It is much safer for your prop and motor...

does anyone no what type of ski pole to buy. I have a 2013 z 8 and have been trying to figure out what type of ski pole to use.
