Ok my dad has this boat for some years now, and this year i started wakeboarding. I have never ridden behind any good boat, so i want to know what im missing ridding behind this one. I think its biggest problem is(beside the small wake), that it dosnt have any fins on it(its a jet boat), so when i try to get some speed and go far to the left or right, the boat automatically starts to turn, that causes the boat to lose some power and i started to sink. I dont have any money right now, so ill be rideing behind this one for a couple of seasons. Does anyone have any idea how to make it at least a little better?
Tnx
And sorry for my bad english

a good driver would probably help - tell the driver to accelerate a little when you are in the flats, and to release a bit when you are cutting. you cant do much about the wake - just make sure the boat is full with people, any more weight than that will probably be questionable. A tower would help, or some kind of pole - but you dont want that small thing to tip. i wouldnt get a full sized tower or an 8' pole. good luck.

Take up wakeskating and save yourself tons of dough and still have fun.
