It is called the Towdster not Toadster if others are interested...and the
link is
http://www.towdster.com/main.html
I don't think the pvc size is critical other than it's rigidity...that keeps
the boats apart. The weight towed, is reliant upon the rope inside the pvc.
It would be interesting to know how the connections are made to the rope and
snap links through the tube. They state their rope is a 12 strand marine
shock rope...wonder what that is?...bungee cord?
