Raley on an outboard?

I was wondering of anybody had tried this or knows if it is posible. Also any tips for trying it?

I'm sure it's possible, but I wouldn't want to learn on one (at least mine - basically a bass boat). I'd much rather learn the technique on a nice wake and get it dialed then try on an outboard. As for tips, if you're feeling ballsy just suck it up and throw it! The thing about raleys is that it's better to fully commit than 1/2 ass it and bail. If you do the latter it will hurt a lot more.

Yeah its possible, but don't expect a great wake or anything. Do you know how to board already? I would guess you do from your post number, so yeah just work some and Im sure you could figure it out pretty easy.

Oh, and how much hp does the boat have this could make big difference, but yeah once again I will say that is possible.

Is it even possible to clear both wakes? I've seen people do it on skies but they only get a foot high.

skies are totally different because they are narrow, a wakeboard is wide, clearing both wakes is easy if you do it right

i ride on a 20 foot whaler with a 200 horsepower engine.....and yeah its possible to clear the wake, but height is an issue for a rally

It has a 70 hp johnson, i can clear both wakes no problem even go into the flats. height is a problem. Il wait till i can get my hands on an old nautique to try it or wait till i go to my cousins and use his i/o.
Thanks

just try it off of what u have got. then when u nail it on that you will knock the crap out of a raley on an inboard

I saw Shaun Murray do a raley behind something i think it was an outboard but this boat looked more along the lines of a cruise ship i dunno where the pic is though, sum where here

well im sure u could do it ... they do air raleys so I mean its deffinatley possible to throw ..... I can get bout 4 feet up behind my bass boat ... deffinatley gonna try and swing a deal on an older model v-drive for next season ... its a completely different sport with a different wake .... I've taken a few Raley cuts but that was to see just how far into the flats I could go .... got bout 15 feet out but like 5 feet up .... never tried to let my hips drift back

it's certainly possible, you just gotta have the fundamentals down first. People can throw square raleys because they have good technique. Go out there and give it your all!

I can pull a raley behind my outboard boat. I've bailed many times, but it is possible. It took a long time before I could land it. It took 2 summers.
