I am running 1.7 fins on my motive 140...I just started wakeboarding..would it make sense to change these fins..if so what fins would be better?

Those fins should be fine ... why would you want to change them?

Have you tried surface 180s yet? I had a Motive, and replaced the stock fins with Hyperlite aluminum 1.1 A wings. This made it much easier to break loose at regular speed for surface 180s, etc.

are the 1.7 the fins it originally comes with (the big black ones)?

i had issues doing the surface 180's on my motive 140, but after a while i got it, i dont think its so much the fins , as your board control.

Well, boat speed and position on the water also has a lot to do with if you are going to catch the fins or not.

I say get some smaller fins . Try the 1.1 hyperlites (like the ones I sold vampyre to put on his motive Laughing

) they will give you a little bit looser feel and help it where the fins don't catch on thoose surface 180s
