Where to hook water toys on a SAN 210?

[BozBoarder]

Any suggestions on where to hook water toys on a 210? The handle is the only place I can see that will work. There are 2 lifting hooks below the swimdeck but the rope would drag underneith the swimdeck. Is the handle strong enough?? Any suggestions would be great.

Bozboarder,

Little confused. Trying to understand your question.

1) by water toys, I assume you mean tubes? correct.

2) not sure if you mean where to hook while you're just cruising
around, or where to hook while you are using them.

Anyway, assuming you mean tubes, etc.

When we are using them, I tie off to the ski pylon in my 210 (behind seat, in
front of motor hatch. I've pulled three adults, agressively, on tubes
and had no problem.

When just cruising around, I have tied the tubes off on the handle on
the back of the boat with the tubes resting on the platform, and
off the back. It's kind of a pain. I've also tied the tubes
into the bow area. Works ok if there are only 1.

We usually try to avoid them altogether, but sometimes you have
guests, kids, etc. where is just seems like the right thing to do.

I pull tubes from my tower or the ski pylon.

As far as storing the tube.....I bought a $9.99 pump (looks like a slightly oversized bicycle pump) from walmart that is all plastic and works great. It pumps with the down and up strokes. It pumps up a double tube in about 4 or 5 minutes. Then I just deflate afterward.

I have also started using a very handy blower that came with a "blow up" air bed mattress. It's about 4 or 5 inches in diameter and about 3 or 4 inches thick. It is rechargable and very powerful. It blows up a double tube in about a minute or so......

Just some options to think about.....
