Unfortunately the 130 seems to tow like a sea drogue.
My buddy replaced his (now my) 1969 13 Sport with a 130. Used to tow the sport regularly back and forth to Catalina behind his Cal 40 and could reach home at 7+ kts. With the 130 that dropped to 5 with substantially more strain on towing hardware.
He sold the 130 and now borrows his old 13 from me when he wants larger than an avon at the island.
if you are looking to tow from a faster power boat at 10+ kts the strain would be huge and a bridal makes sense.
