How many people actually ride behind "wake boats"?

Question is already laid out. How many of us here actually wakeboard behind a wake makin machine, and how many are stuck with the kinda crap I ride behind.

I'm riding behind an 18' fishing boat. Throws a decntly sized wake, but it's WAY too wide, I gotta ride at 25mph @65'

niiice, I ride behind a 17'? dont quote me on that 87 bayliner bowrider. The max air I've ever gotten was like 3.5 feet. Talk about variety of tricks that can be learned.. can anyone say 180?

i ride behind san's and vlx.

i also ride behind an old ski nautique 2001...not wake specific, but by no means is it an old ripple maker.

sport boat, not really ment for wakeboarding but its not bad. If i knew what i do now about wakeboard boats im sure my dad wouldve gotten like a malibu or a tige instead because he likes having the best products and those are some good boats. i like the monterey, even though u have to go practically 30mph to have the best wake...just need to weigh the boat down but my mom always gets angry when i say we need to weigh the boat down, she thinks theres no reason to Evil or Very Mad

I have grown up riding the 20' Outboard Center Console fishing machine. what puzzles me is we wakeboard behind it like 3 times a week but it is yet to have a person catch a fish on it. Wake is pretty small but you can huck the occasional tanny behind it. Or I can. Its modified with a tower and a 700lb sack in the back.

on our outboard we bypassed the bilge pump to put more water in the back (i know probably a really bad idea but it works) and have 1000lb of fat sacs and trim tabs it makes a really good wake for a fishing boat

Lots of boats that aren't mine. 99% are wake-specific boats. Too many friends with boats to purchase my own, $$$ better spent on gas and beer for the friends' boats. Cool

I ride behind a Svfara wake boat.

16.5' Cape Horn, I hate it, but I won't complain too much, 'cause it's sure better that our past boats (some sunken garbage, and a boston whaler). I need one of those ob pylons though, 'cause my rope's gettin' eatin'.

Heres what out boat looks like.... It throws a nice wake for an outboard if you feel the ballast tanks up. (to me ballast tanks are live wells)

Heres our boat... It is the best outboard wake i have seen. It does alot better if you fill the livewells

I've got a 99 bayliner, actually throws a decent wake for I/O. Looking into an older ski boat though.....
