pretty happy with a 24 P hydromotive X-OT, I really liked a used 24 trophy I picked up but it cracked after only a few hours of me owning. TXP 24 was better at cruising but bit too hard for my 220 lb but to deepwater start slalom. On two you should be able to get up with just about anything

I have a 22 bravo that I'm going to try skiing with this year. Not sure if it'll do it or not, I've only run the prop once. I've used trophies before for towing and never have had a problem.

I have heard good things about bravo's just was unsure because it is a full hub instead of an over through

I sure thought more people would jump in on this.
Well the smallest prop I have is a 24p offshore chopper, so this is my ski prop for now.

23 Trophy is the best I've used and that includes several High 5's

23 Trophy plus wouldn't get my 240# up on 1 ski last year. We ended up using a 21 Tempest Plus. I was on the end of the rope so I don't know exactly what was happening but the guy in the boat said it was just hanging there. I was almost up but just couldn't get over the hill.

Worked for me like a rocket shot pulling a 220 lb guy barefooting on deep water start. Also worked pulling up 2 skiers, one at 210lb and the other at 145lb.

I used a 25 hydromotive X-OT for tow duty when I had a 2.5. Though I gotta admit....I rarely pull anything with mine, but it did the job.

My 23 highfive will pull a truck out of a Ditch, just don expect to run fast with it lol.
My 24 trophy doesn't hop up as good with a wake boarder but cruises better.

I tried a 23p Trophy "not trophy plus" this weekend for tubing and skiing and it had no slip on take off. I was supprised at how well it pulled and ran. Solo top speed was 80.5 gps and 79 gps with a passenger up front @ 6750.
