I posted this in the boat newsgroup but it doesn't seem to get enough
traffic, thought someone here might be able to help.


My Dad is looking at a twin engine (twin 260 hp) 25' boat. But he has one
major question? will he be able to take someone skiing behind a twin engine
boat? A bunch of people we have talked to say that you don't ski behind a
twin engine boat,

WHY? Is it a problem with the wake or just cost of fuel?

Since he has also looked at a few single engine bowriders what would be the
main advantage of the same size boat except twin engines? Disadvantages?

The twin engine boat is a Wellcraft 250 xl
