      Comments about The Ski Seat:

      Bought for my kids but they can't get it away from me. I love it.
      My friends got one and they only use a 100 horse outboard and have no problem getting everyone up.
      Except the BIG dude that always comes over to ride. I think he is 300lbs. I took him on my Mastercraft and BAM!!!

      Good for first time skier

      By EllisonLaser

      from Lake forest

      About Me Intermediate

      Pros

      • Attractive Design
      • Easy To Install
      • No Rattle
      • Strong Construction
      • Surprisingly smooth
      • This is easy to get up

      Cons

      • Can't cross wake slowly
      • Needs a lot of power
      • Need to go fast over 25

      Best Uses

      • Smooth water only
      • Waterskiing

      Comments about The Ski Seat:

      This Sit Ski is easy to get up, but does need a lot of horsepower. (I have a 340hp engine and need 100% of it to get people up) If you already know how to ski or wakeboard, you will not like it. If you are learning, it could be a good stepping-stone. You do need a lot of hand strength, but that it. It is good for folks with bad knees. Also gives you a very smooth ride. Do not use in rough water and make sure to cross the wake at a nice angle or it will flip. Give yourself about 2 hours to assemble it.

                  Comments about The Ski Seat:

                  We have had our ski seat since the early 1970s. I would rather ski on my Ski Seat than my single ski. I enjoy riding the Ski Seat, jumping, and turning. My son and I have ridden side by side. We have taught our children, grandchildren, friends and their children, to ski with the Ski Seat. Soon our great-grandchildren will be ready to try it. We ski on Lake Shasta and when I go by houseboats, all heads are turning to see what I am riding. I am looking forward to many more years of riding my Ski Seat.

                    We've had a Ski Seat in the family since the early 70's and it's still providing fun 40 years later. I've owned 2 Ski Seats myself and watched my 3 sons and many friends enjoy them.

                      This thing is FUN!! We're a family of 5 with ages from 9 to 50. We enjoy the water but are not experts at skiing. We have neighbors that ARE experts and we are all able to use and enjoy the ski seat. I appreciate the quality of construction which has made me feel I've purchased an item we will use and that will last for many years to come.

                              Only comes in yellow. No waiting. If you go to a boat show (Cal Expo in Sacramento) you can talk to the owner and see it in person. Plus you get a huge discount.
