Prospective owner seeks performance data

There are ski pylons which can be bolted into the foreward part of the splash well and transom, and easily removed, which put the tow rope post foreward of and over the outboard --this would help some with pulling the stern around. But I don't see it as that great a problem.
"Thanks, elmo!
As usual, I tried to read too much into the situation, looking for an explanation of the Cosmos in a CrackerJack Box! Have you ever seen the face in the sand on Mars?
Joe. :lol:"
Joe,
Actually, there is a lot of cosmic significance to my logo; I simply have not gleaned it all yet.
The face on Mars? Yep, that's me too.

i've been toying with the idea of strapping on yamaha's new twin 350 v8's.
now that's what i'm talkin' about, right there.
i could do that if the bow would just stop pointing vertical.
not sure if i'm trying to make my little misty seas something it's not.
i guess i better leave well enough alone and just operate it in the spirit it's intended.
oh well.

I don't see much on the postings or my experience that water skiing would be a stretch. There are better boats as a primary ski boat, but the C Dory 19 or 22 should easily do 22 to 25 mph and have a good hole shot with a lower pitched prop. Just because most folks use their boats for cruising, doesn't mean that the CD 19 or 22 would not make a very usable ski boat.
As for the pulling the skiier--we have almost always used a vinly covered cable shackled to the stern eyes, with a pully and float where the ski rope joins. This tends to decrease the swing of the boat's stern.
