Im thinking about making a winch and it would save some money to use this. http://secure.cartsvr.net/catalogs/catalog.asp?prodid=1976859

( the 1/4" 600 foot spool)

But will it work?

I think low stretch would be bad, ski ropes usually have no stretch. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. I wouldn't recommend it.

Yeah man, Because you will get an inconsitant pull. and it might tear fast because its not meant for that.

I thought ski ropes had more stretch and that wakeskate lines had next to zero...thats why most high end lines are spectra, while cheaper ones are Poly E.

all ropes used to have stretch to them but now normally only people that slalom use the stretch. but it will only stretch for so long. eventually the rope will stretch itself out (which could take any amount of time). i would say its really up to the person, how much they want to spend.
