I just got the PTM Edge. It’s great. Folds down to put the cover on as well.Anybody have any recommendations for a good mirror to watch tubers for a Bennington?

Agree a mirror is not enough. Anytime we ski/tube/wakeboard we have a spotter. It's the way we have always done it. With that being said......the law has changed. Now if you have a mirror you don't need a spotter.I don't want to be a spoil sport . . . and I'm usually not one for following rules . . . but having pulled a tube, I don't think a mirror is enough. Get a mirror but when you're pulling anything alive behind your boat, have a spotter too. The mirror won't work when you're whipping them with turns (which is the most fun for them). You're going to be worried about where you're going (and other boat traffic) and they'll be way off to the sides so you won't see them in the mirror anyway, even when you can look at it.
Put another way, if you can see your tube-ees in the mirror the whole time, you'll probably see them texting and taking selfies because it won't be much of a thrill ride.

I have the large PTM Edge mirror and it really does show me my "tubers" no matter how far outside the wake they've gone. With that said, I'm also driving the boat and can't stare constantly at the mirror and look at what's in front of me at the same time. Whether the law requires it or not, I want a spotter and won't pull a tube or a skier without one.Agree a mirror is not enough. Anytime we ski/tube/wakeboard we have a spotter.

Next day my wife gave me the green light for a 150. Two fisted tubing from then on.
