Yeah... That's stupid.

Even though I've only water skied that one time I remember just how difficult it was to pull yourself out of the water. I think Cape is right about the couch needing to be more out than in. Flotation is probably the best way to do that. I've never done a full power take off, but it's a 225 HP engine so It does have plenty of speed. Initial torque I'm not so sure of. This might be my excuse to buy a 4 blade prop.
Oh one more thing. I'm not going to be the one on the couch, at least not on the inaugural runs. I'm the brains of the operation, I'll need to be safe and sound with one hand on the wheel and the other on the throttle. No fears, we'll get someone to be the couch rider. I'll auction that spot off to the highest bidder.

If it is Rookie, I would change the approach. Given how buoyant Rookie would be, you might want to skip making the couch buoyant at all. Matter of fact, you may want to chain several 50 lb plates to both Rookie and the couch... Maybe a dozen. Then chain Rookie to the couch... You know.. So he doesn't slip off (safety first!)... And the. Letter rip.

Cape Brewing said:LOL!!!
How awesome would that be?? Effin couch sinks like a stone and starts dragging the boat down with it.
There would be no video on the planet I would pay more money for.

This assumes LSU makes it out of the backyard.

no tailgating at the superbowl? why would anyone want to goto football without a tailgate, especially a winter game in NJ.

I think that's a MAHVAHLOUS idea. You hang onto the anchor till we get well offshore. Then I'll just reach my hand down and throw a little switch and problem solved.
