Towable toys

I have recently acquired a 6 man Banana in need of a few repairs, has anyone had any experience of one of these? Is it worth repairing and what sort of horsepower is needed to tow it with 6 adults on it?
Any info gratefully recieved

Jono you took the words out of my mouth!
Repair it if you do not like it stick it on ebay B4 the end of summer.
How are you getting on with the V type?

Well, it does need a few repairs so i'd like to know if it's worth it. As for the V type, a couple of times i've had a hull delivered followed by as phonecall asking if he can have it back to sell!!! ....'does'nt bother me, i get the tube work and i've grown quite attached to my Shakey!!

Yip, quite a few now, the 6m version is great, 'handles really well.

I've got a 3-man banana jobbie. I used to tow it OKay with a 60 when i had one on a tornado 5m. Naturally the opti 150 just about manages to tow it

Ed - don't i owe you cash or beer still? Which would you prefer?

No worries Dan, i'll settle for a spin in top banana sometime!
