Don't try to tow a Mastercraft with a houseboat with the towline attached to the tower.

WOW.
There was a group that had a similar thing happen last year to a PS197. They were towing it behind the houseboat through some rough water and the 197 started taking waves over the bow and nobody noticed until all you could see was the deck. Supposedly, they pumped it out, fired it up and went skiing. GO MASTERCRAFT!

Why didn't they use the hook in the front? Why use the tower I have to know?

i saw some dumb *** do it with his boat on shasta. i tied mine on the bow eye but this guy decided to do it off the tower. somehow nothing happened. i was just sitting on the roof waitng for the show to begin. i didnt want to say anything because i didnt know the guy and he seemed like a know it all. it wasnt my houseboat or houseboat trip. we were invited on by some girls .

Wow, that's crazy. I think my pucker factor would be about an 11 if that happened to my boat. I wonder if they ran the rope over the bottom of the boat and to the pylon and then pulled it over. I would think that would be your best leverage point. Wow, scary.
