That doesn't answer my question!

yes it does. if you have to buy your own engine then you pick it yourself and all of those things are chosen by you.

huh, i had a car w/ 35hp engine. aint it too much for the winch? i guess kinda 10hp engine will be enough powerful.

lol, a go ped could have more than 35hp huhu Razz

And you indeed need at least 30+hp on your boat if you want to ride with it. That is if your boat is a really small one, like 2-3 meters.

of course, boat needs alot hp's but when towed by the winch and doing dock start, you dont need so much "horses". thats all about friction. i watched on tv a man "wakeskating" on piece of wood who was towed by a real horse running on the bank. so i think: 10 horses will be sufficient for the winch [when you arent starting from the water].
yo, that car was super fast Very Happy

, max speed about 140km/h. but i liked it.

Thanks Dipsh!t, That sounds more like it. i was thinking a 6 horse would almost do it. I just wanted to know what they were using!

Of course theres never a straight answer on here.
