You don't need it bigger but it would help alot. If you can't clear the wake on it, cut hard (progressive edge) and pop hard off the top of the wake. If you want to make you wake bigger than add some fat sacs, sand bags, lead, etc. Anything that will add a good amount of extra weight will work..

Your never going to get a huge wake with a bass boat though as the hull is not designed to toss up a large wake. It's made to go fast and smooth across the lake (them fish are wiley...)

But yeah, adding some weight to the boat would make it a tad bigger.

I have an old, small ski boat that throws about a one foot wake also. I can go wake to wake and sometimes even clear the second wake. Just keep the line very tight, cut hard, and pop hard.
