on smaller boats I have towed (duck boats and such) I can usually get them on plane and it makes for a much better experience for all parties involved. Its a long ride from the wax campground to the boat launch. Never towed or been towed in a bay boat very far so I just take it easy. But I think it can be done safely if the boats are similar size, weight ,and conditions allow.
I need a big rope to keep on the boat
