I'd like to hear from the group regarding any experience you have towing the PA behind a power boat. Not thinking recovery, but quick deployment when having to cover large areas of open water like we have in coastal North Carolina.

Water gets forced in through the mirage drive hole and will submerge most of it

Towing no... Taxi yes... If your boat is large enough to handle the size and weight. Good Luck

Even with the drive plug and scupper plugs water still makes it in and requires the primary boat to idle.

Must seal the front bin cover or risk losing the kayak. I flipped when being towed, enough water got in under the front bin cover to cause loss of control.

Heh, yesterday I did the opposite. I had to tow a power boat about 1 mile back to the ramp because they broke down.
