When you say 'pulled a skiier' are you talking about ripping somebody out of the water on ONE ski vs TWO?....big difference.
On One ski, even if the handle gets literally ripped out of your hands occasionally thats good. You can never have enough power.
The boat has to accelerate (get up on a plane) quickly too. Otherwise the skiier is stuck in limbo in this big 'hole in the water' for too long. Trim tabs despite the added load (hence the need for more power) seem to make the boat hop up on plate 2X as fast if in the fully down position, then pull them up unless you have a wake boarder in which case a huge wake is good.
Power, power & more power! Thats why a ski Nautique has a small block v8 in it
