It sort of hung out, but was stable.</div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp;If was going to tow for any great distance we would have put it across the deck up front or pulled it in over the stern... both considerations/ alternatives we discussed before hooking it up on the cleat midships.</div>]]>

No mucking around at slow speeds. We were up planing&nbsp; at about 16-20knots. You are correct that it veers off to the side. The guy on the kayak was holding a ski rope and could just steer the kayak with the rope between his feet. Nearly wiped out once, but he let go of the rope.<div>Looked damn funny...water starts firing up through the little holes in the bottom of the yak, like little jets.&nbsp; Probably wouldn't recommend keeping your rods on the kayak though, just incase you roll...lol</div>]]>

In all situations speed needed to be kept down and a real watch kept in following seas.<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>In your situation I'd try towing the two kayaks in-line astern, with the Cabo in the rear (i.e. your tinny -&gt; Prowler -&gt;&nbsp;Cabo following last, all in one line).&nbsp;The pressure from the Cabo will keep the Prowler in-line and lessen the risk of it surfing to one side of the wake and rolling. You will also find it may be beneficial to run a drag rope off the stern of the Cabo to keep in in line too. I've used a 5m length of 20mm rope for this.</DIV>]]>
