For persons under 200 pounds, 70 hp would be the smallest motor I would reccomend. For persons over 200 pounds, a minimum of 90 hp. Of course the more horsepower, the easier it is to get the skier up and the less it wears out your skier!

What is the suggested HP to pull a water skiier out of the water?
This question depends on the type of boat you have. Normally as long as your boat can do around 25+ mph you should be able to pull a skier out of the water. So if you have a 18ft boat with a 115hp depending on the weight of the boat you will be able to tow a skier out of the water.
Can a 50 hp motor pull a skier?
Assume you are talking about a boat and a water skier. Yes it will work. I have been towed by a 35 HP outboard. It depends on the skill of the skier to be able to get up quickly. It also depends on the skis and the drag they cause while being pulled from the water.
