My boat is a inboard/outboard, every time I carv hard at the wake the boat tilts slacking the line and making the wake crumble. How can I make my boat more stable????

Hey macgiver,

Short answer, - I'm not sure that you can, perhaps add some weight? What kind of boat?

make sure that you have a good wake mainline, one that does not stretch at all, or very little. add some weight to the bow of the boat if possible, and tilt the engine further down into the water, which will both keep the bow in the water, and should increase the size of your wake a bit.

Try a few of these
#somtimes if u have fat sacs in you,re boat and they sit well above the water line this makes the boat rocky
#Ur line could be a non convetional line wich streaches thus causing slack
#If you have a high pole or tower sometimes with smaller boats they can be too tall for you,re rig
#If you have no weight in yore boat try some but try and stash it bellow the water line

My boat is an imp and it is 22ft long. it weights 4500lbs witch is pretty heavy for a boat. I have two fat sacks and i put them fwd for best results, it only slacks the line when u cut hard and weigh 200 or more. I have a non stretching main line and when i trim down the boat to much my wake crumbles. one person said i could use fins under the boat for stablizing it? any more suggestions appriciated!!

Maybe out a fat sack in the middle of the boat, weighing the whole boat down and making it sit deeper in the water, your boat may be slightly top heavy.
