[PSUBS-MAILIST] towing requirements



Hi all,

 

I’m planning a trip to South FL, and have run into the issue of finding a tow boat for a K-250, since I would need to do tows of 4 to 7 miles each way in open water. One option is to purchase an inflatable, and they come in a huge range of sizes and engine capacities. Smaller is better for me, but only so long as it’s not TOO small. Any little tender with a whimpy motor will move a K boat to some extent, but for those who have “been there done that”, what do you consider would be appropriate for open water use, for example getting home against the Gulf Stream? If I can decide on 35 HP, 50 HP, etc. I can work that back to a matching boat.

 

The sub itself, BTW, I have modified for towing by glassing in the ballast tanks and using stove-pipes, so that they don’t “burp” as much.

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

Alec
