Wow, I thought boats were used for fun on the water... It probably suits their needs perfect. I think it would be kind of fun to have that set-up. I definitely wouldn't want to ski behind it all the time... But to each their own!

Thats MR Hoss to you buddy!
I'll agree with the others that say it's a shame to do that to a boat. In fact, it's a shame to rig any boat for anything other than fishing, but to each his own I suppose.
One of my biggest pet peeves on the water is idiots on jet skis and ski boats that come flying by you when you're trying to fish. No respect at all for others on the water. One of these days I'm going to snag someone's ear with a 3/4 ounce slab.

What's really annoying is to have a fishing boat sit right smack in the middle of the best ski cove on the lake 
Almost as bad as a jet skier or fishing boat tearing up the water before I start my run!

A 21 ft. bass boat doing 70 mph doesn't make much of a wake. That shouldn't tear "your" water up too bad.
Jet skiers are by far the worst. Most ski boats pretty much stay away from fisherman and vice versa, but jet skiers just don't seem to care (realizing of course that some jet skiers actually DO care and not lumping all of them into the "idiot" category).
Still, boats are for fishing.

worked with an instructor who yanked a guys motor off the back of his boat and dropped it, told him we would be there till we found it....
of course it can be fun when teh fishermen come in... you can realy play with them!

I have always given wide berth to fishers and it I cant I slow it down for them so they dont get waked out
, I do agree that the jet skis aka lake lice don't have a clue when it comes to boating ediquette! My pet peeve is when Im pulling and I have someone right on my tail!!! If my skier drops, man bad news, remember to keep the distance when you see someone pulling !!!

I dont have a problem with jetskiers jumping my wake while cruising, bit of entertainment provided they keep their distance... Now while I'm pulling or being pulled, that's another story... Ticks me off to no end. Was actually pulling my mom on a slalom and a stand up ski cut in front of her over her ski!!! Have the marks on the ski to prove it!!! Ran that guy down and gave him a bit of a 'talking to'
