what size boat/engine is needing for towing this tube?

Standard ski boat will pull it. It has about as much drag as two towables, but not as much as three. We have a V8 with about 325 hp.

Sorry, we put the boat away for the season. All I can tell you is that the diameter was as advertised. I mounted the wheel on a standard Teleflex helm, I did need to purchase a gear puller to remove the old wheel from the hub

Kenneth-I am using my drift anchors on a 16 foot boat. I am not sure what size you might need for a bigger boat. I would imagine it depends on the type of lake and conditions you encounter. I "googled" for information before I purchased mine so that might be a good source. Sorry I cannot be of more help.Bob Watson

Depends on how much junk you have in the boat... and how far you're going to haul it. Big motor..? I wouldn't do it, since the weight would hang quite a bit back on the load. The trailer is stout enough, but I'd be sensible about how much it could handle.

Have to check the frame size spec. This a 5 hp only motor. My air compressor needed a nominal 7 hp. Had to resheave.

60 foot tow rope - airhead makes one and amazon sells it. You will also likely need a towing harness to direct the rope around your outboard. Airhead also makes one of those - I bought the one with the pulley on it so that it keeps the tow rope centered. It connects to the boat transom tie-down rings

I used this extension for my dinghy tow on my 4000 lb jeep. My recent trip went from Tampa,FL>Estes Park, CO>Moab,UT> Albuquerque, NM>Tampa. Lots of climbs & descents. Work without a hitch.(pun intended.)

I had to order it twice. I have a 16 foot boat and ordered a 16 foot cable I think? It was to long so I ran the new cable in place and measured the leftover and ordered the correct size. It has to be the correct size because the cable doesn't bend into tight corners very well. I would try using a rope and run it from the motor to the cousole the way the cable would run. I hope this helps a little.

My friend has a pontoon boat, not sure the length and motor size, but it pulled it just fine. Our boys are younger, <8, so we don't just go wide open, but it pulled the tube fine.

There would be no reason to but a 4 bbl carb and make it work with a 2 bbl adapter. Get the intake and because it's only a 4.3 you will have to do some adjusting to get it to work properly. Depending on the altitude where you use the boat most and proper jetting will be required. Fortunatley this is easily done with this carb.

you'd have to check the specs for the boat itself, mine said 3hp motor was the biggest i could get. I went and bought a 30lbs thrust Minn Kota trolling motor cause the amount of thrust/power was the same and recharging a marine battery is cheaper than buying gas and other needed maintenance. also its lighter in weight.

You need to get a goose-neck adapter for it, but she should pull a 30 foot trailer with its whole .1HP

Gordon gave the correct answer, to his inclusion of a "longer" supply hose. I did just that for my "little red campfire" and added a quick disconnect fitting for the "tee", the tank adapter, and quick disconnect adapter for the hose. Now I can power it from: a one pound container, a twenty pound container, and to the motor home!

Yes it should i old work. You may need to use longer straps as slings for the boat and hook the straps to the hooks of the pull system

That depends on the height of the trailer you'll be towing. Go to this site to read about how to figure it out. http://www.etrailer.com/question-14216.html

Jon Boat Trolling Motor ThrustBecause they're so light, Joboats don't need excessive amounts of power. You'll find 30 lbs to 50 lbs motor most common on these lightweight vessels. If using a bow mount motor for the additional control and feature set, a smaller 45 lbs or 50 lbs motor should be plenty of thrust. http://www.trollingmotors.net/trolling-motor-thrust-guide

3 hp or even smaller. For sure no more than 5 hp. An electric trolling motor would work too.
