60 foot tow rope - airhead makes one and amazon sells it. You will also likely need a towing harness to direct the rope around your outboard. Airhead also makes one of those - I bought the one with the pulley on it so that it keeps the tow rope centered. It connects to the boat transom tie-down rings

i use a 30lb river anchor and it works perfect i wouldnt have a boat without one of these on my boat!

I use the Cedros 40clf on mine. I have put a 50 on it too. The 40 manages good sized Redfish, Stripers up to 39" and small Mahi Mahi, Lesser Amberjacks, Bonito, Albacore and Yellow Tail. I use food braid and dampen that with flurocarbon leader. Drag is the issue and line test that will not over stress the rods test weight. I believe you will be happy with the combinations.

Sorry, I bought it and have not used it yet. However, you can always get some free ropes from Home Depot or Lowes.

There are handles on either side of the head pillows. That's the only way I can see of attaching a rope. I wouldn't trust it to pull behind a boat though. There's not an attachment for that.

The synthetic cable works best. Easier and safer. Pulley can come in handy depending on what you plans are.

I just used a crown bolt. Drilled a pilot hole and then screwed the crown bolt into my pole. I used this pulley to run a 50ft clothes line. This is a crown bolt - http://www.amazon.com/Crown-Bolt-79142-Anchor-2-Count/dp/B004XMZUC4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1398189650&sr=8-2&keywords=bolt+anchor+hook+end

Not rope but a nylon cord that is 1/4 " that runs the full length and sticks out some. So you can thread it easier.

This rope may not work for you, my boat is 34oo lbs. this rope is rated for safe working load 410-Pounds and breaking strength 3900-Pounds.

I haven't tied anything other than a fishing stringer but the fish combined were probably more that 5lbs. Normally any air adapter will work to get it full enough to finish off by blowing. I used and air matrice blower.

The rope would work fine. It works with my tube. There are loops on both ends.

I purchased the River Run II that was two tubes already linked together, with a cooler in the middle. These tubes are VERY strong. I cannot recall about the rope.

I don't know how heavy my boat is so I can't compare but this rope is great quality. I use 4 ropes as I have a slip with dock on each side. This rope is super strong.

Sure you can pull it with any type water craft, but why? Maybe just to relocate it and then anchor it. The intent of this vessel is a "PARTY ISLAND" not for "WHITE WATER RAFTING". My friends drift on the lake, wherever the wind and waves take them, then get in the water and swim/push it home when they've had enough sun. "CAUTION" a sea anchor/drogue on a short tether is a must, you definitely don't want the "ISLAND" moving faster than you can swim. Don't forget your PFDs.

I'm not sure i understand your question, however it appears that you are asking which configuration would be best? There is only one configuration to this system, so there is no easy or hard way. From a physics perspective, it doesn't matter which way you pull on the loose end, the weight is essentially the same. The mechanical advantage is in the configuration of the rope, and the moving pulleys

what is the anchormate rate which a lot less than the what type rope are you look at makes a differance

The width of the pulley where the rope would ride is 1/4". I use this pulley with cable.
