 How fast could you safely pull a kayak behind a boat?

I'm not thinking of going too fast, about 20mph is my max and if I am loaded down, maybe 12mph. Just don't want it flipping over.

Lol.... I can't wait to see the responses your about to get!!!
I honestly have no idea. I'm sure when the kayak manafactures designed your kayak, they never took in mind the stress of being pulled behind a boat though.

Ya know, I was thinking more along the lines of towing it empty but riding in it while being pulled with a ski rope that you can let go of would probably be a blast.
I guess there is nothing left to do but carry out the experiment.

Lol!!!! Don't forget the video. Oh and please make sure you can let go of the rope.
If not, it would be one of the largest crank baits
a fish has ever seen. Lol!!!!!!

Make sure you video tape it. You probably just have fun but.....If something does go wrong you might get some money out of the video to cover hospital or funeral bills.

I say 65 MPH would be a good start then crank it down from there. Be a good idea to go ahead and wear a PFD though.

I can go 66 !
just kidding
but mess around some with weight distrubution and tow rope locations while you're doing your learning
no real reason why you can go Ski Speeds except for the crashes
Unless you are wearing a grass skirt and sleeping in a ditch and eating only road kill, you too are part of 'the problem'.

You should tow a skier behind the towed kayak.
