Hey i have a hyperlite wakeboard and i just started wakeboarding about a year ago, I have a outboard Mercruiser without a tower, plus my wake isnt the greatest. Is there any way i can get more air without spending alot or no money, thanks feel free to IM me (veilsidercng) or e mail me (louiesclubhouse@yahoo.com

u should try adding some weight to ur boat to get a bigger wake and there r plenty of ways to do that cheapy.

well what could I do that would add more weight that isnt expensive, i heard that i could buy ruber maid containers and fill them with water and put them under the back seats but i dont think that would make a big difference, and i dont have alot of room to spare

i have a buddy who filled some rubbermaid containers with cement, grabbed some waterbed tubes and filled them with water. he added about 360 lbs. for $50. The boat drives differently though, so watch out for that.

One of your probs could be that you are going too slow. If u arent comfortable going about 20 mph, then the wakes get wider, and harder to clear, making it frustrating...... If you go faster, the wakes thin out, and get taller, giving you more pop and clearance. Smile

go out and try it, just get used to the speed! Mr. Green

Or just befriend some heavy set guys, invite them out on the boat, and tell them they ave to sit in the back to tell the driver when you fall that should increase your wake size and you can show off for a crowd!

Its all about ur boat, certain boats have certain speeds that provides the optimum wake. My boat the best wake is inbetween 22-24.

put sandbags in the back and then have ur driver turn the boat a little so the wake it curved up more. make sure there isn't any wash over the wake, just enough that it slightly curves up
