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
