boat question

[bass69]

ok so i have bought all my gear but i havent been in the water on my wakeboard yet, i got a question though, will my boat be able to produce a big enough wake to get some quality air? i would imagine so, im not sure if that is a stupid qustion or not, thanks

Depends on how you define "quality." You'll probably be able to go wake to wake behind that thing, but I wouldn't plan on too many inverts or anything like that. It is going to take a LOT of weight (probably a completely unsafe amount) to get a decent wake out of that boat. Bass boats are made to ride fast on top of the water and to not draw a lot of water so that you can get into shallow places and fish. These things are pretty much the opposite design of throwing a good wake for catching air.

One thing you CAN do behind it, though, is really work on your carving, switch riding, and w2w jumping so that you can really be a good rider when you do get a chance to ride behind a great boat for boarding.

Get the video Hit It and see what someone who can really board can do behind a boat like that!

thanks for your info, it is a fish/ski boat so id asume that it should be pretty decent

If my fish and ski wasn't winterized id get a pic up. you would definetly love it. it is a 16 ft. smokercraft with a 'ghetto' tower my dad made. the tower lrgs go into the two back seat holders and only rises about 4 and a half feet of the ground. once it is 'unwinterized' (if that is even a word) ill get a pic up pronto for you people to get jealos over.

BTW i can do 180, indy, melon, method, stalefish, mute, and im tryin some 360's behind our 'Gas-Guzzlin Wake-Throwin Pig-of-a-boat'

bass69, the big trick for you will be getting lots of weight in the boat...

more weight = steeper wake = more air

your boat appears to be fiberglass too so that will overall be good for the shape of your wake.
