Well I retrieved my 23' Sportfish from Tenakee Springs and towed it some 66 miles to Juneau yesterday using my family's 31' Express. We towed 7.5 to 9.5 knots (depending on the tides/current). We had phenominal flat calm conditions the whole way. So now my 23' is in the harbor and I plan on borrowing a trailer to put her on while I repower her. Other than that major issue she is fantastic condition, it was great to be in the interior and I had forgotten how pristine she is on the inside (the outside needs a powerwashing). At any rate I had the towline going through the bow eye and then up over the anchor roller to the winch capstan and then tied off at the cleat. I tried all the combinations and that was the best for towing. Going through the bow eye got the boat the best tow. Other configurations as the speed increased the bow would rise up but the towline would get too high and the boat would get squirrelly.
