You don't have a direct drive like the OP. his conundrum was towing from tower, stern or the CENTER pylon. Towing from the rear pylon of a v-drive is a non-issue as it doesn't slice off the heads of rear passengers like happens on the center pylon of a direct drive.

Definitely can't argue that , like earlier post said serious tubing definitely not from tower , years before being around a boat with a tower we used the tie down points on the transom , two ropes going to this bullet looking thing that tubes hooked to , but dang that was more than 20 years ago

Y'all care to come out and tell all the people on our lake this about tubing from the tower? Or just let them keep doing it in hopes their boat goes out of service? It also seems a lot of those boats are MC or Bu...lol

I have no issues pulling tubes. A lot of people come out to our boat for one weekend and they may not come back for quite a while. A lot of people aren't going to learn in the hour or less they will actually get behind the boat. What is the point of forcing them to attempt to learn to board or surf for a few minutes. We encourage everyone to learn and that used to be the only option. We gave up on that because not everyone wants to, may not be able to and they just sit on the boat. Everyone on the tube can have a blast and has a smile on their face the whole time whether just cruising or giving a hell ride. We are about having fun for all. That being said we pull the tube about 4 times per season so it's not that bad.
The problem is you have to have a dedicated tube session because I am not fitting the tube on the boat to board and I am not deflating it.

I tube from the tower in most cases. I use the rear hook if I have adults with the request for the max ride. Judgement call. I found if you tube the kids they won't want to do anything else and it bores the driver so I would tube them to the beach and board sports after that. The kids would earn a tube ride back if they attempted to do some type of boarding during the day. It seemed to work and they wouldn't bother me on the beach with tube rides.
